What is Squarespace doing to ensure compliance with the GDPR?

At Squarespace, we're working across the company to ensure we're prepared for the GDPR. This includes reviewing how we store and use data about our customers and on behalf of our customers. We’re also doing the following:

  • Updating our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy to be more transparent about our use and treatment of data. These updates will include the addition of data processing agreement, or DPA, provisions, and will be made before the GDPR takes effect.

  • Implementing internal processes to help our customers comply with EU data subject rights.

  • Determining what, if any, product changes need to take place.

Does Squarespace need to store data in the EU?

As with existing law, the GDPR requires that certain safeguards be put in place when transferring personal data outside the EU. We already self-certified to the EU-US Privacy Shield, which allows us to lawfully transfer EU personal data to our US-based datacenters. We may soon also certify to the Swiss-US Privacy Shield.
