GDPR UK Compliant Forms
by MakeForms

MakeForms is GDPR UK compliant, ensuring that all personal data is handled
in accordance with the regulations set forth by the United Kingdom.

About GDPR UK Compliance

GDPR UK refers to the implementation of GDPR regulations in the United Kingdom, which came into effect on January 1, 2021, after the end of the Brexit transition period. The UK GDPR closely mirrors the EU GDPR and imposes similar rules on the collection, processing, and storage of personal data.

Importance of GDPR UK Compliance

GDPR UK compliance is important for several reasons:

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.

MakeForms & GDPR UK Compliance

At MakeForms, we take GDPR UK compliance seriously, and we are committed to protecting our users’ personal data. Here are the key aspects of our GDPR compliance:

Data Storage

Our servers are hosted in the EU to ensure that all the data we collect is stored within the EU. Additionally, all our data subprocessors, including OVH, AWS, and MongoDB, are GDPR-compliant and use EU-based servers to store data.

GDPR UK Representative

We have appointed an UK-based GDPR representative to ensure compliance with GDPR regulations and to act as a point of contact for our users.

GDPR Assessment

We have completed a thorough GDPR UK assessment to ensure compliance with all GDPR UK requirements. Our users can request the assessment report by dropping an email to support@Makeforms.io

Data Protection Addendum (DPA)

We offer a Data Protection Addendum (DPA) to our users who need to establish GDPR compliance for their businesses.Our DPA is a legally binding agreement that outlines the specific measures we have taken to protect our users’ personal data and ensure compliance with GDPR regulations. It also includes provisions for data processing, data retention, and data security.
