Privacy and security have always been the foundation of Airtable's approach to product development and business, and we continuously evaluate all our practices in an effort to safeguard your information as effectively as possible. In that vein, in advance of some new individual privacy rights regulation in the EU—The General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR")—we're rolling out a series of updates to our Privacy Policy, and the options we provide for managing the data you keep in Airtable.
What is GDPR?
On May 25, 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will officially take effect. For European individuals, GDPR expands their data privacy rights and gives them more power to control their data. For companies that process the personal data of these European individuals, GDPR requires compliance with a new set of regulations.
GDPR outlines specific requirements that these companies must satisfy, as well as specific rights that European individuals can exercise with these companies. Further information on GDPR is available on the European Union’s official website: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection_en.
Data processing agreement
Airtable offers Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) to users upon request. This DPA includes standard contractual clauses ("Model Clauses") that are the mechanism for GDPR-compliant data transfer. To request a DPA, please email privacy@airtable.com from the email address associated with your Airtable account.
Please note that our DPA has been tailored to the way Airtable provides its service, and as a result, changes to DPA language are only available for enterprise accounts.
Features to support GDPR requirements
Airtable can help you meet your data portability requirements for GDPR. You can easily export data from your bases and permanently delete data.
Data Protection Officer
We have appointed a Data Protection Officer. For more information, contact privacy@airtable.com.
Updates to our Privacy Policy
