Fivetran Now Compliant With European Union’s GDPR Privacy Law

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which comes into effect on May 25 in the European Union, emphasizes that individuals own their data, not corporations. Fivetran, a company committed to data privacy, has ensured GDPR compliance by conducting an internal review of its data flows and implementing measures such as AES-256 encryption for temporary storage and permanent deletion within 24 hours. The GDPR also mandates businesses to have the ability to delete data upon request, supply consumers with copies of their data, and face potential fines for non-compliance. Fivetran has signed GDPR-compliant data processing agreements with its sub-processors and registered with the Privacy Shield program. The regulation applies to any company that processes the data of EU residents, regardless of location.
