GDPR, (e)Privacy & Data Protection for SaaS
The regulatory landscape is constantly changing and it feels impossible to keep up with it all...
<<A site by NoTies Consulting>>
The "DPA" and "SCCs" ⚖️
More and more customers are requesting your "DPA" (data processing agreement) and/or "SCCs" (standard contractual clauses) and you have no idea what they're talking about... Then you realize the magnitude of these *legal* documents.
The "GDPR" 📚📚📚
You make an honest attempt at reading up on this "General Data Protection Regulation" to see what all the fuzz is about. Only to realize that it's a massive law from the European Union and you're left wondering what the heck it all has to do with your lil SaaS company. 🤷🏻♀️
Hefty GDPR fines 💸
Then you also realize that the many articles about hefty fines aren't just scaremongering. Companies actually get fined, outside of the EU - and not only the Googles of the world. You read about Schrems II and start thinking about geoblocking next...
Fleeing customers
Worse, EU-based customers of companies from outside of the EU get fined for using their services, leading them to switching to "safer" EU-based vendors... This doesn't bode well for your retention goals.
Overwhelm is a fact
The initial yawn at EU policy-makers first turned into a slight worry and by now you're close to panic mode. How are you going to get through 78 pages (not counting Recitals) of mind-numbing legalese, let alone understand it all. It's easy to get help, right?
Hefty lawyer fees 🤑
So you set out to get some help. (No way you have time to wrap your head around all the requirements - you're already bootstrapping!) Only to discover that GDPR services are big business. No lack of offers to help! It just costs 30% of your ARR...
You just want to build and run your small business
You just want to run an honest business, pay your taxes, follow laws and regulations. You respect people's privacy. You don't rely on privacy-invasive business models and shady growth hacking strategies. You just want to do the right thing. So does it really have to be that hard to deal with the GDPR..?
No. And I can help you with that.
Get your documents under control
You don't have to write all the text yourself for your agreements, privacy notices, efforts on Schrems II etc. Get easy to use templates with step-by-step video instructions on how to tailor them to your business (sorry, generic doesn't work anymore!).
JIT knowledge
You don't need to read the legal text yourself, at least not all 78 pages - and spend 6 months learning about the GDPR. I know where you should start, what you should spend the most time and - and when. I call this Just-in-Time knowledge. 🤓
An investment you can live with
Privacy and compliance is important, but it cannot cost so much that you can't afford running your business. With my services, you can afford basic compliance from day 1 and increase the budget as your business grows.
GDPR knowledge base
Don't believe everything your read in random blog posts or in Facebook groups, and avoid costly misunderstandings. Base your GDPR work solely on credible sources (like we do).
