The GDPR compliance feature is for users with clients in the EU. What do you need to do to be compliant?
Update your terms of service and privacy policy to be compliant with GDPR regulations. We recommend getting your own legal advice!
Only collect or process personal data that is required to perform your contract e.g. shooting a client's wedding or family portrait. Don't collect personal data that is not necessary to do your job.
If you want to send your clients marketing materials and promotions which are not related to completing the contract, you must get their explicit consent first.
Note: Studio Ninja does not condone sending your clients newsletters or promotional emails that are not related to doing your job for them (e.g. the photo shoot), unless your clients have consented to you doing so.
How does Studio Ninja help me be compliant?
Studio Ninja will help you collect opt-in consent from your clients if you wish to do so. Remember you don't need to ask for consent if you are simply processing their personal data e.g. name and email, in order to do your job for them.
Studio Ninja will also help you store these records of consent to remain GDPR-compliant.
There are three ways in which you can ask for your client's consent, by adding an optional checkbox to your:
Contact Form
Questionnaire Templates
Contract Templates
You can track your client's consent records via their Client Profile, as well as inside the Job Profile where you've sent the Contract or Questionnaire Templates. Go to the Job Profile and then click on View Contract or View Questionnaire.
