General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)​

European Union General Data Protection Regulation

Effective May 25, 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a significant change to European Union (EU) privacy law. The regulation prioritizes an individual’s right to control their personal information. It imposes new rules on companies, government agencies, non-profits, and other organizations outside the European Union that process personal data related to the offering of goods and services to people in the European Union (EU), or that monitor the behavior of EU citizens within the European Union. 

We are committed to compliance with the GDPR by providing privacy protection to all Maps.com users. 

How GDPR applies to Maps.com

Esri is a controller of personal information, and that information is stored in the United States. We control the personal information of those with whom we directly interact. Examples of this are users who visit Maps.com or fill out a form on Maps.com.  

The GDPR details six legal bases that allow controllers to process personal information. They are: contractual necessity, legal obligation, vital interests, public interest, legitimate interest, and consent. Most of the work we do with users is classified as contractual necessity or legitimate interest. In other cases (e.g., web browsing tracking, marketing), we obtain direct consent before collecting any personal information. 

How we are taking action

We are committed to protecting your personal information from any attacks or data breaches. We have implemented appropriate security controls throughout our business systems. In the unlikely event of data breach, we will honor the GDPR requirements for notification. 

Esri has created a Data Transfer Agreement that sets the conditions related to privacy, confidentiality, and security of EU personal data associated with Maps.com services.  You may download, countersign and retain a copy of the appropriate Data Transfer Agreement for your records; you do not need to return a copy to Esri.
