Build trust and transparency around your data with Pardot.
At Salesforce, we see GDPR as a tremendous opportunity for marketers to deliver greater value and a deeper, more trusted relationship with customers and partners. To navigate GDPR and continue to blaze a trail in marketing, you need to balance customer-centricity, governance, and compliance. Pardot allows customers to face the GDPR with confidence, and to use GDPR as a catalyst for customer centricity.
Pardot Accelerates GDPR Readiness
Right to Be Forgotten
You may need to delete customer data in order to comply with data protection and privacy regulations. Pardot offers a rich set of features to help you meet your obligations under the GDPR. Salesforce allows customers to delete personal data at both an organisational level and an individual level. For individual requests following a data subject request, customers can permanently delete their data by creating a support ticket (help article coming by April).
Data Portability
Pardot customers may use the CSV export and/or Pardot API.
Consent
Customers will be able to continue with Pardot’s current unsubscribe and EPC functionality in features such as Track Do Not Call, Do Not Email, and Do Not Fax in Sales Cloud. Admins will be able to enable a setting that enforces opt outs and disables tracking on the Engage for Gmail Extension. Web Tracking will continue to have Tracking Opt-In Preferences.
Restriction of Processing
Simply archive to Recycle Bin to restrict Pardot processing. If the restriction is lifted at a later date, the data can be re-imported.
Accountability/Transparency
Salesforce offers customers a robust data processing addendum containing strong privacy commitments that few software companies can match. This addendum contains data transfer frameworks ensuring that our customers can lawfully transfer personal data to Salesforce outside of the European Economic Area by relying depending on the service on Binding Corporate Rules, our Privacy Shield certification, or the Standard Contractual Clauses. This addendum also contains specific provisions to assist customers in their compliance with the GDPR.
Security
Pardot provides our customers with a secure solution in accordance with our Trust and Compliance documentation.
“We are committed to our customers’ success, including compliance with the GDPR.”
