Customer Loyalty Solution Punchh Facilitates GDPR, Privacy Shield Compliance for Retailers
SAN MATEO, Calif. (PRWEB) May 23, 2018 -- Punchh, the application that brings physical businesses the power of digital customer relationship management, today affirmed it will be compliant with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) by the May 25 implementation date, a move that will also assist their customers to protect the data of the 35 million consumers they collectively serve each year.
To remain ahead of additional regulations affecting how businesses accommodate the rights of individuals in the increasingly data-centric business environment, Punchh will also be abiding by the US Privacy Shield framework.
To assure compliance, Punchh has released updates to their marketing platform to facilitate their customers’ needs. These updates enable businesses to quickly and easily respond to guest requests for copies of their data as well as to support a guest’s “right to be forgotten” by enabling the total deletion of any personal or campaign data from their database.
“Trust is essential to any customer relationship, whether it be our relationship with a brand or that brand’s relationship with the guests they serve. That’s why we’re taking these new regulations incredibly seriously and helping the people who have entrusted us to set a high bar for data privacy,” said Shyam Rao, CEO and co-founder of Punchh. “By abiding by GDPR and Privacy Shield and getting ahead of future initiatives, we are hoping our example is one that inspires others to ensure data does not get into the wrong hands.”
