GDPR and Cozy Cloud

The General Data Protection Regulation is a new, European-wide law. 

It provides individuals with new rights in relation to how your personal data is collected, used and stored and provides new rules for organisations on how to handle personal data.

Why now? In almost three decades, the WEB has deeply changed its first purpose and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is coming into effect to fix it. 
And Cozy Cloud? Since its creation, Cozy is based on the same values that have brought this new regulation to its application: give you back control of your personal data and the power to use them in a space that belongs to you. We did not wait for the GDPR to implement them and protect your personal data.
As proof, the essence of our commitments has remained intact with the application of this new law.

What changes for our Cozy users? More precisions on your new rights. 

    • Right to data portability: One of the first strong engagement “You will stay because you can leave” makes even more sense today
    • Right to be informed: We’ve reworded our privacy policy including our third-party contractors to make it easier to understand what personal data we collect, how we collect and process the data, and for what purposes. 
    • Right to control: Cozy has always been designed to provide each individual with a digital solution that he or she controls: self-hosting free software that protects every personal data. We have reinforced with a label of trust for the applications that will be available on the marketplace. Feel free to accept or refuse which data they use.

GDPR comes true! Our Terms of Service have been updated and are going into effect on May 25, 2018 to all our Cozy users.
