Note: In accordance with GDPR, as our customer, you can exercise your data subject rights through this form.

While the purpose of these updates is to help our customers better understand how they can use ActiveCampaign to align their practices with GDPR requirements compliant without sacrificing usability of the platform, we suggest that customers consult an attorney if they have any questions about how the GDPR will impact their business.

Going forward, we will develop the product with the GDPR in mind—this means an emphasis on flexibility in regards to data. We will announce GDPR-related changes on a rolling basis, so check back here or on the GDPR Overview tab for updates.
