Will your company need to hire or appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO) to be GDPR compliant?
Larger companies will have a greater need for a DPO than their smaller counterparts, but only you can decide whether you need to create such a position for your business.
Many experts recommend hiring a dedicated DPO. This person is responsible for protecting the data your company collects, ensuring you remain compliant with GDPR and reporting any vulnerabilities to senior staff.
9. Up The Ante
If you have a ho-hum offer, now is the time to sweeten the pot. Consumers will have to take more to sign up for email newsletters , webinars, and more, so you need a slam-dunk incentive.
Additionally, you need your headlines and CTAs to effectively communicate with your audience. Speak their language and make sure they understand the benefits of what you offer.
10. Segment your list
Ideally, you'll want to segment your email list into two categories:
People from the EU or their origin is unknown
People outside the EU
Those in the first category need to hear from you soon. Give them a chance to reapply.
Hello Bar makes this process easy. You can import your email list from a CSV file or other email services, then dentist database segment them based on the data you know.
Sometimes data security risks can come from third-party sources.
Identify third-party services that process consumer data on your behalf. These include cloud service providers, payment processors , content promotion agencies, and IT support services.
Review their terms of service, privacy and data policies to understand their compliance practices. Ideally, their policies should align with yours to ensure compliance.
