Simplify GDPR Compliance with a Consent Management Platform
One key part of GDPR is documenting each contact's consent to store their data and communicate with them. While you can use built-in features in each of your apps, it's also helpful to choose a dedicated consent management platform, or CMP. Here are some of the top CMPs to consider:
- Didomi is a popular consent and preference management platform with comprehensive solutions to collect, store, and leverage user consents and preferences. After completing the setup process, you can see a compliance score out of 100% for your business. With their Privacy Center, you can also offer customers a dedicated space to easily access and manage their consent and preferences.
- Piwik PRO was built as an analytics platform but now includes a Consent Manager to manage your marketing stack's compliance in one centralized place. It's designed to get your tools up to speed with GDPR, California’s CCPA, Brazil’s LGPD, and other privacy laws around the world.
Other Apps to Streamline GDPR Compliance
As well as adopting a consent management platform, there are several other types of apps to help you manage your contacts compliantly. Here are some GDPR-friendly apps to consider adding to your stack:
- LogicGate Risk Cloud is an agile GRC (governance, risk, and compliance) cloud solution. It includes enterprise-level solutions for risk management, compliance management, and data privacy.
- Boxcryptor makes your cloud storage more secure with encryption for OneDrive, Dropbox, and Google Drive among other providers. It's free to use for one storage provider on two devices, and you can upgrade for unlimited devices, providers, and advanced filename encryption.
- Onna integrates, unifies, and protects knowledge platforms in one centralized and secure place. Connectors include Google Suite, Microsoft 365, Dropbox Business, Zoom, and Slack Enterprise.
- iubenda generates instant cookie banners and terms and conditions that are customized to fit your business, tech stack, and the data you collect. It's especially valuable for websites and small businesses to comply with legal requirements quickly and simply.
- PieSync and its two-way data syncing tool existed before GDPR, but it has some handy benefits for secure data management and up-to-date contact information, including subscription status. The two-way sync enables you to create a "single source of truth" between your apps and make your customer data easier to use and manage. Next to the subscriptions, you can also sync consent status and preferences between apps with customizable filters and rules.
- Fathom Analytics was co-founded by entrepreneur and author Paul Jarvis, Fathom Analytics offers simple, fast, and privacy-focused website analytics as an alternative to Google Analytics. It doesn't collect any personal data, so it's instantly GDPR-compliant and you don't need to include it in your cookie notice.
