Any company handling data has a legal duty to do so responsibly. In determining to what extent companies handle data, they assume a status that, in turn, has different legal liabilities.  From a data protection perspective, businesses have to decide whether they are a data processor or a data controller.  In this article, we’re going to explain the position Awin is taking and what the implications are for our advertisers.

Awin has always taken data protection obligations seriously, and will continue to do so under new European legal framework surrounding the General Data Protection Regulation and ePrivacy Regulation. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into effect May 25, 2018. Although ePrivacy Regulation was intended to come into effect at the same time, the wording is still likely to change from its current form, and therefore is no longer anticipated to be ready on the same date.
