GDPR (EEA & UK)
This page is not intended to provide legal advice. We recommend you consult your own legal counsel.
Mouseflow is compliant with both Economic European Area and United Kingdom GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). We do our best to keep our customers and their website visitors safe by aligning with the current privacy legislations around the globe. We automatically mask IP addresses and does not track ISP’s or keystrokes (non-PII fields can be whitelisted).
GDPR compliance checklist
No matter where you are located, GDPR is relevant for you if you handle data coming from EU citizens. While Mouseflow automatically checks off a lot of boxes regarding GDPR, a few actions might be required from you.
What you need to do
First, we ask you to review the EEA GDPR Legislation, the UK GDPR Legislation, and the definition of Personal Data.
You need to audit your website(s) to ensure Personal Data is excluded from tracking — across all page content and form fields.
No action is required. We mask IP addresses automatically. You can contact us to have complete IP exclusion enabled (stricter).
You should make a test recording in our platform to ensure all exclusions of Personal Data are functioning correctly.
You may need to obtain active and explicit consent to track users on your website(s). We recommend checking the laws and regulations that apply to your website(s) and obtaining legal advice.
You may be required to offer an opt-out for tracking on your website, depending on local laws/regulations. We recommend describing that you use Mouseflow, what it’s for, and providing a link to our opt-out page.
