As you undoubtedly have heard, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is taking effect on May 25, 2018. The GDPR provides greater protection of EU-originating personal data by imposing additional obligations on entities involved in processing such personal data. Under GDPR, Agility PR Solutions and our end-users/clients are jointly responsible for compliance. We welcome the opportunity to work with you in adhering to this new legislation, improving data protection and security for EU personal data.

We have been conducting a company-wide review of our data protection practices and policies. To reflect our compliance with the GDPR, we have updated the Terms and Conditions that govern the use of, and access to, Agility PR Solutions’ products and services to include a Data Processing Agreement Addendum. These changes become effective on May 25, 2018.

You can review the updated Terms and Conditions and Addendum at www.agilitypr.com/agility/terms-of-use/. Your company will receive a copy of the updated Terms and Conditions for signature directly from your Account Manager via DocuSign. By continuing to use Agility’s products and services after May 25, 2018 you agree to the updated Terms and Conditions.

If, for any reason, you do not agree to the updated Terms and Conditions, please contact your Account Manager or email GDPR@agilitypr.com and we will work with you in good faith to resolve your objections. 

It should not be necessary to send a message to your journalist contacts as long as you manage and distribute to the data within the Agility platform and target journalists appropriately.
