Is Snapps GDPR compliant?
What is GDPR?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a regulation in the European Union (EU) designed to strengthen and unify privacy and personal data protections for all individuals within the EU.
Snapps GDPR Compliance
Snapps takes seriously personal data protection and the right to privacy online and welcomes this latest EU regulation to strengthen and unify these protections for individuals within their jurisdiction. Snapps has completed a thorough review of the legal and technical impacts of the GPDR to ensure compliance, and has made all required adjustments to our products, services, and documentation to ensure full compliance with the GDPR. This gives Snapps customers more control over their personal data and provides the necessary tools to protect the information of visitors to Snapps websites.
Snapps is fully GDPR compliant.
How does Snapps help you remain GDPR compliant?
- We have conducted a security audit to make sure all of our security measures and protocols are fully GDPR-compliant.
- Snapps organizational policies, especially our data security and data privacy policies, cover what is required by the GDPR. Our staff is fully aware of the need for strong data security and privacy practices across the entire company. This is an ongoing process and we see it as a key factor to our success in this project.
- Snapps is documenting and developing all operational procedures required to support an individual’s right to review any of their private data that we store, the right to be forgotten, etc.
- We have updated all our data processing agreements in light of GDPR requirements.
- The broader topic of data security is a long-term commitment rather than a one-off project. Snapps remains committed to data security and privacy and we will ensure that our customers are protected in an ever-changing landscape of regulation and real-world threats.
- We have enabled the following new features:
- You can now easily create a Privacy page to enable you to communicate information about processing the personal data of your users in a clear and transparent way.
- Cookie notifications are fully customizable to fit the legal requirements of the relevant country or area.
- Your contact forms can now include convenient Opt-in notifications to collect consent from site visitors to process their form responses.
- The right of your users to be forgotten can be realized with the help of the Form responses tab in your site dashboard.
- By masking IP in SnowPlow, we can safely state that no personal information is being tracked.

Snapps allows you to upload several different file types to the root of your website. This allows you to have selected files that are served from the root of your domain, in order to use them as additional data to assist in your website. The most common use cases for this are replacing the default robots.txt and sitemap.xml files that Snapps automatically generates (for more information on the default sitemap, see How do I Access the Sitemap? ). If for example, you want to override these files, you can upload your own. Or, maybe you want to add a file which Snapps does not generate, like ads.txt. NOTE If you do not see the File option on the URL Redirect screen, access it first from the SEO settings and upload a file. After this, additional files can be uploaded by going directly to the URL Redirect screen. To override the default files (sitemaps and robots.txt files), ensure the Source URL matches the file names (sitemap.xml and robots.txt) exactly. The file types supported are .xml, .txt, and .json. The platform does not validate custom files. For example, if a corrupt file is uploaded, it will still be served.
Expand the capabilities of the website builder with custom HTML. This widget allows you to embed custom code into your site, and can be used to embed third-party widgets such as videos, contact forms, and more.
While adding custom code can extend your site's functionality, we recommend you only add code from a trusted source. Only add code if you know exactly what it does and how to troubleshoot it if it does not work.
