Big Cartel GDPR  
Another day, another GDPR email!  
The good news is that the May 25th deadline is tomorrow, so  
hopefully you don't have to auto filter these into your trash for much longer.  
Although our lawyers  
tell us you should definitely not be doing that.  
Anyhow, this is our email, much like the dozens (hundreds?) you've already  read .  
We'll try to  
keep it short and sweet.  
What even is the GDPR?  
The GDPR, or  
link  
General Data Protection Regulation  
, is the European Union’s new data privacy law.  
It  
applies to a wide range of businesses   so if you have customers in Europe, or your business is  
based in Europe, this very likely affects you.  
We wrote a quick  
link  
GDPR guide  
to get you started, but  
beyond that you should probably pony up a little cash to ask a lawyer.  
Why is every company everywhere emailing me about the GDPR?  
GDPR basically made most companies make changes to their policies to better explain how they handle  
data.  
At Big Cartel, this means we have a brand new  
link  
Privacy Policy  
detailing the sort of data we  
collect from you (it isn't much) and what we do with that data (use it to help you run your shop).  
We also have a new  
link  
Data Processing Addendum (DPA)  
that explains how we collect and use data from  
your customers.  
What other policies did you change?  
Glad you asked!  
We also did some other lawyerly things like update our  
link  
Merchant User Agreement  
to  
reference our new  
link  
Privacy Policy  
,  
link  
DPA  
, and other GDPR related points.  
We also updated our  
prohibited items to prohibit CBD, and to allow you to sell martial arts weapons (because we trust  
you to be responsible with these).  
We're also no longer allowing new stores to sell alcohol, but  
we're allowing stores that have already received our permission to continue to do so for now.  
What now?  
Technically you should read all of these legal docs, make sure you're complying, make sure you  
still wanna do business with us, and maybe call an attorney to see if you need to do anything else  
to comply with GDPR requirements.  
And since you're the type that reads entire legal emails, we know  
you will.
