GDPR Compliance

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) takes effect on May 25, 2018. The GDPR is a standardized user data protection framework that operates across Europe and imposes obligations on companies such as Alpes Srl, owner of the MapleFarm brand, that handle people’s personal data in the European Economic Area.

This page briefly explains what Alpes Srl is doing to work with GDPR compliance.

  • First, we are improving our transparency by updating our Privacy Policy to identify what information we collect about our users, how we use that information, and its security. If you continue to purchase on MapleFarm after introducing these updates, it means that you accept this new norm.
  • Second, we recognize that it is important for you to control your information, so we invest in features that will help you easily manage and access some of your information within our site.
  • Third, because we use some third-party vendors (e.g., Google Analytics and WordPress), we are reviewing and negotiating these contracts to ensure that they comply with applicable laws, including GDPR. Where changes to these agreements are needed, we are entering into data processing agreements with our vendors.
  • Fourth, we recognize that data protection concerns us, so we are improving internal controls over employee access to data and data security incidents.

None of these steps can impact the way you shop on our site-you and all of our users will remain free to shop safely!

For support on any GDPR-related topics, including how to access, verify, update, and remove your personal information, please email us at servizio.clienti@maplefarm.it.
