GDPR and Email Marketing: Comply with regulations and protect your subscribers' data with Acrelia.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has changed the way companies can manage their customers' personal information. In the field of email marketing, ensuring compliance is not only mandatory, but also strengthens the trust of your subscribers and enhances your brand's reputation.
With Acrelia, you can ensure that your campaigns comply with the RGPD and the LOPDGDD (Organic Law on Data Protection and Guarantee of Digital Rights), avoiding penalties and optimising the security and legality of your mailings.

What does the GDPR require for email marketing?
The GDPR (EU Regulation 2016/679) sets strict rules on the processing of personal data across the European Union. If you run email marketing campaigns, you must ensure compliance with these key principles:
- Explicit consent: You cannot send emails without the user's clear and unequivocal consent. Pre-ticked boxes and implicit consent are not valid.
- Transparency and right to information: You must inform subscribers about the use you will make of their data, including your identity, the purpose of the processing and how long the information will be kept.
- User rights: Subscribers must be able to access, rectify, delete, and transfer their data, as well as oppose the processing of their data at any time.
- Data security: You have the obligation to protect the personal information of your contacts, avoiding unauthorised access or leaks.
- Proactive accountability: You must demonstrate that you have taken the necessary steps to comply with the GDPR and be able to justify this in the event of an audit.
