GDPR Conformity


The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is a current European Union privacy law. It goes into force on May 25, 2018 and Its goal is to preserve the privacy and personal data rights of EU citizens, often known as data subjects. As we develop new services, we work hard to comply with the GDPR and apply its principles. Under GDPR, the word "personal data" (also known as "personal identifying information") is extremely significant. It refers to any information about an individual that can be used to directly or indirectly identify them. Personal data includes, for example, the following:



Is This Relevant To Me?


Regardless of where the processor or controller is based, the GDPR legislation applies to any EU resident's data. This means that if you're utilizing SocialScraper to contact other US companies from the US, the legislation won't apply to you. However, if you have any customers or leads in the EU, you should be aware of this. The GDPR must be considered by most businesses in practice to ensure the privacy of people.


Is SocialScraper GDPR Compliant?


Despite the fact that the GDPR only applies to data from EU residents, we decided to implement the regulation's requirements broadly.

The Processing's Objectives

For informational purposes, we exclusively analyze publicly available web data. Our users have a genuine interest in having faster access to publicly available information about other instagram users and companies. We enable professionals to connect with one another by acting as a customized search engine for Instagram and the Web.


Non-Public Data Is Systematically Pseudonymized

To protect data subjects' privacy, our applications substantially pseudonymize data. Any variables that don't need to be kept in their original form are deleted to prevent them from being linked to a specific data subject.


Right To Erase Data

If a person wants to expedite the removal of any email addresses in our database, we provide a way to do so by contacting us at contact@socialscraper.io . The info can then either be updated or completely removed.


Portability Of Data

Under the GDPR, any user has the right to download any data that he contributes to a service. This makes switching to other services much easier. This is an excellent concept, and SocialScraper has indeed allowed users to collect their data.
