GDPR Compliant Forms
by MakeForms

MakeForms is GDPR EU compliant, ensuring that all personal data is handled 
in accordance with the regulations set forth by the European Union.

About GDPR Compliance

The GDPR is a regulation in EU law on data protection and privacy for all individuals within the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA). The regulation came into effect on May 25, 2018, and imposes strict rules on organizations that collect, store, and process personal data, with the aim of protecting the privacy and rights of individuals.

Importance of GDPR Compliance

GDPR sets the rules for how personal data should be collected, stored, and used across the EU. It protects user rights and holds businesses accountable — making it a key part of any privacy-first platform.

Protects the privacy of users

GDPR helps to ensure that individuals have control over their personal data and are aware of how it is being collected, processed, and stored.

Builds trust with users

By being GDPR compliant, we demonstrate our commitment to protecting the personal data of our users, which helps to build trust with them.

Avoid Penalties

Non-compliance with GDPR can result in significant penalties, including fines of up to €20 million or 4% of annual global turnover, whichever is greater.
