As announced one month ago, our new Terms of Service and Privacy Policy implementing the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) take effect today.
The GDPR is a set of regulations declaring that the individual should have control over their personal data by specifying how such data may be collected, processed, and stored.
Important principles include that personal data must be processed lawfully, for legitimate purposes, and with explicit consent from the user.
Runbox’ privacy commitment
Runbox has always been committed to the privacy of our users, and the GDPR principles are now fully integrated into our Privacy Policy. It provides a comprehensive overview of the policies that govern your privacy as a Runbox user, and describes in an accessible way the types of data Runbox collects in order to responsibly and reliably operate an email service.
It also lays out how user data are processed and stored, how they are being protected, and what rights you have as a user of our services.
To find out more about our GDPR implementation, please see our previous blog post GDPR and Updates to our Terms and Policies.
Review the new terms and policies
If you haven’t already done so we ask that you review the revised terms and policies now, and invite you to contact us with any questions or concerns.
If you are already a Runbox user or customer you have already actively consented to our Terms of Service when registering a Runbox account, and you do not need to consent again now to the new version.
As a new Runbox user you will have the opportunity to consent to the terms and policies when registering your account.
