MadCap Software and GDPR Compliance

Our Commitment to You and the Protection of Your Data

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), set to go into effect May 25, 2018, is the most comprehensive EU data privacy law in decades.

Protecting our customers’ information and their users’ privacy is extremely important to us. As a provider of both desktop-based applications and cloud-based SaaS solutions, we are entrusted with some of our customers’ most valuable data, and we’ve set high standards for security.
