On May 25, 2018, a new European privacy regulation called The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will come into effect. As a valued customer of Boats Group, it is important that you understand the impact of this new regulation and know what is required of you moving forward.
What is GDPR?
GDPR impacts users located in the EU and EU citizens, regardless of where they are located when they receive communication and/or conduct business with you. It applies to all companies selling to and storing personal information about users in Europe and EU citizens, including companies on other continents. It provides users and citizens of the EU with greater control over their personal data and assurances that their information is being securely protected across Europe.
This new data protection regulation puts the consumer in the driver’s seat, and the task of complying with this regulation falls upon businesses and organizations.

What does GDPR-compliant mean?
The GDPR requires organizations to implement reasonable data protection measures to protect the personal data of consumers and employees against data loss or exposure. To achieve that goal, the law regulates all areas related to data management and processing, from obtaining user consent to setting up company-wide data protection practices and handling data breach incidents.
When does GDPR take effect?
My business doesn’t sell boats outside of the U.S., so how does this impact me?
Why do I have to sign this agreement?
Does this change mean that I can’t do anything with the leads Boats Group sends to my business?
What about the leads that I get from my website?
If your website is managed through a provider other than Boats Group, you should contact them directly to determine what steps need to be taken. All companies are working to gain compliance as this is not optional.
