Build trust and transparency around your data with Marketing Cloud.
Marketing Cloud Accelerates GDPR Readiness
Right to Be Forgotten
The Right to Be Forgotten is managed primarily through Marketing Cloud’s contact delete framework. Marketing Cloud developed a robust data deletion framework that currently has the capability to delete individual's personal data following a data subject request, and will continue to improve functionality as more features are released. In May 2018, Marketing Cloud will address contact deletion across all channels and audiences.
While part of Marketing Cloud, we will call out some specifics to Salesforce DMP due to the nature of the product. Salesforce DMP enables customers to carry out a complete deletion of entire data records as well as a selective deletion of only certain datasets or data fields. After termination of services, it must be possible for a customer's records to be automatically deleted.
Data Portability
The DMP will enable customers to export all data that exists in their DMP account. The data feed delivered to the customer comes in a machine-readable format using the existing data-feed transfer process. This can be managed using API or directly within the UI.
Consent
The Salesforce DMP provides multiple methods for you to manage and record the consent obtained from your consumer. Based on consent signals that you provide, DMP functionality only operates against a consented set of users. This can be managed using API or directly within the UI.
Restriction of Processing
Salesforce DMP admins have the ability to stop processing data for a given user, meaning that data will not be used in any analytical jobs that run in the product until the restriction is lifted. This can be managed using API or directly within the UI.
