For Users in Europe
These policy changes reflect our ongoing efforts to build The Exchange on a foundation of respect for user privacy and our recent work to comply with Europe’s new privacy law, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
In addition to a new Privacy Policy aimed at clarifying what information we collect and how we use it, there are also some new features.
For users in Europe, you will see a pop-up around May 25 and be asked to read and accept our new Privacy Policy. While the GDPR applies specifically to people located in European Union member states, we’re implementing product changes for all users.
