GDPR
Elements.cloud provides affordable tools required for sustainable data privacy
This article gets into the detail of customizing Salesforce and Pardot to support GDPR compliance; what is GDPR, building a data inventory of personal data, custom objects to track permissions/consent, where the Individual object fits, and finally how to drive email marketing and unsubscribes cycle.
Watch this short video that shows the principles of the Data Privacy Manager and a demonstration of the functionality
Salesforce
Data Privacy Manager App
GDPR requires you to show evidence for every contact/prospect that you have valid data privacy permissions for each type of communication and that it has an expiry date. This is more than simply adding a few more checkboxes to the Contact object.
You need to ensure your marketing and sales teams stay effective and focused on the right prospects / customers, not tied up in data entry.
You don’t want to change your marketing model, so the managed app has the flexibility built in. But it also has the structure to keep your users on the right side of the GDPR auditors by controlling their data input through marketing defaults.
Rules Based Options
Add a permission and the opt-ins are automatically added based on your communication rules.
Auto-Expire and Alerts
Permissions automatically expire based on expiration rules and screen alerts stop users contacting the person by mistake.
Single-Click Unsubscribe
A single unsubscribe button on a communication ensures ALL opt-ins for the different permissions are automatically unsubscribed
Dashboards and Reports
Get a clearer picture of your GDPR compliance with dashboards and reports of Leads and Contacts.
AppExchange
Installing the App
The app is available in AppExchange. On your right is a screenshot of the listing of Contact record. In the right panel are all the active and expired permissions and the left panel has the allowed communications based on the active permissions, with the unsubscribe on the dropdown.
The annual cost is $3,000 per org.
