EU Data Compliance Guidelines

This document is an ongoing basic review to create a road map to help ensure 1 Stop Data and clients stay within the regulations to manage risk and enhance marketing performance.

All emails within 1 Stop Data’s B2B Live database have been given the ‘Right to be Informed’ and are processed in line with GDPR and PECR.

  • Almost all countries require ‘General Data Security Obligations’, this means that data is kept secure at all times and first party vendors ensure third party vendors also comply with data security processes.
  • An unsubscribe link & clear identification of the sender is required on all messages, so it is both lawful within Europe and good practice to always include an unsubscribe.
  • The appointment of a data protection officer when processing large volume data is required but at any size having one person familiar with the rules and risks is a sensible option. If you do not have somebody available in house, 1 Stop Data can help you manage your compliance obligations.
