Providing models and other creatives with the tools they need to find work and get paid, Contact wanted to make sure they handle their data, including images, lawfully.
Contact.xyz
Our client
Contact is an agency that provides models, photographers, and hair and makeup artist with the tools they need to find work and get paid. To ensure this goal went smoothly, they needed us to ensure they handle their data in compliance with the GDPR.
To achieve this, Contact knew they needed to follow certain legal requirements but wasn’t sure where to start.
What they were up against
Challenges
Contact needed someone who understood both the legal and the tech side of data protection to look into the issues like their online talent sign-up process, the compliance of their external software providers, cookies, and sending marketing emails.
Solution
This is what we did
Robust diagnostics
Our GDPR audit that resulted in a Gap Analysis and Compliance Roadmap enabled Contact to get straight to the point, ensuring no area of compliance was left untouched.
Understanding the business side
We made sure we understood the way Contact’s business works to identify the approaches that could best work for them.
The Trello effect
The DPO Trello board made it easy to keep Contact’s team in the loop regarding our progress.
