The EU’s new data privacy regulations are fast approaching and if you own a website, this could affect you.
In brief, Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will enforce stricter regulations to data collection that impacts any EU citizen, regardless of where you and your website is based. These new regulations take effect on May 25, 2018.
This new regulation could affect the contact or info forms users fill out on your page. To comply with the GDPR, we’ve added an option in our Builder Contact addon. The new option will allow you to display a consent checkbox to your viewers with the text “I consent to my submitted data being collected and stored”, or something to that effect, anytime they fill out a contact form. The checkbox will be a required field that the viewer must select in order to submit the contact form.
In order to take advantage of this new feature, please update your Builder Contact addon to the latest version!
* Please do not take our short article as legal advice and/or the basis of information concerning the GDPR. Here are some articles from credible sources for more details:

Check out her featured sites below and read how she tried various web design tools but chose Themify as her go-to site builder:
Hi, my name is Nathalie Prevost and I am a designer/developer. I work out of British Columbia, Canada. While my career hasn’t focussed on web design, I have often been called on to do just that. I have been designing websites since there have been websites to design.
I was initially trained as a graphic designer and I wanted to expand the services I offered to my clients so I learned how to design and develop websites. I also like to find new ways to create and design new things, so when I have an idea that requires new skills, I just learn them :)
