How does Webflow handle site visitors and form submissions in regards to GDPR compliance?

Webflow provides a range of features and tools to help website owners ensure GDPR compliance when it comes to handling site visitors and form submissions. Here's how Webflow addresses GDPR concerns:

1. Consent Management: Webflow enables you to easily add cookie consent banners to your website, allowing you to obtain explicit consent from visitors for various tracking technologies such as cookies, pixels, and scripts.

2. Data Collection and Processing: With Webflow, you have full control over the types of data you collect from visitors. You can add custom form fields and design your forms to collect only the necessary information. It's important to clearly state the purpose of data collection and provide an opt-in checkbox for consent.

3. Data Storage and Security: Webflow stores your website's data in secure data centers and takes appropriate measures to protect it. Webflow uses industry-standard security practices, including encryption and secure protocols, to safeguard the information you collect through your forms.

4. Data Access and Retention: As a website owner, you have control over the data you collect. Webflow allows you to export and delete user data when needed. You can easily manage form submission data in your Webflow project by reviewing, exporting, or deleting it.

5. Data Transfer: Webflow takes precautions to ensure that when transferring data across international borders, it adheres to the requirements set by GDPR. Webflow complies with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield and the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield frameworks to facilitate the lawful transfer of personal data.

6. Data Processing Agreements: Webflow offers Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) to customers on selected plans. The DPA outlines the roles and responsibilities of both the website owner (data controller) and Webflow (data processor) in processing personal data, ensuring compliance with GDPR.

7. Third-Party Integrations: Webflow provides integrations with various third-party tools and services. When using these integrations, it's essential to review the privacy policies and data processing agreements of the respective providers to ensure they also comply with GDPR.

It is important to note that while Webflow provides a solid foundation and tools to help you with GDPR compliance, you should consult with legal professionals or GDPR experts to ensure that you are meeting all the specific requirements as they apply to your particular website and use cases.
