Privacy policy update and tools for GDPR

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the new set of guidelines for handling personal data of European Union (EU) citizens that comes into effect on May 25, 2018. The upcoming changes impact companies based in the EU, or those processing the personal data of EU citizens.

This new legislation is about improving data safety, greater transparency, and control of your personal data online. This is also something we care deeply about and, to support this new regulation, we have updated our Privacy Policy to make it more transparent and to fully comply with the upcoming regulation.

In addition to the mentioned updates, we have also built several tools for our merchants, to provide the same transparency and protection for your customers.
