Customer Data Privacy and the GDPR

6/18/2018

We take very seriously the privacy of our customers as well as their interest in keeping the personal data they entrust to Smartsheet private and secure.

We’re pleased to announce that Smartsheet has updated our policies and practices in light of the changing privacy landscape, including the introduction of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which goes into effect today.

You can read our updated Privacy Policy here.

The GDPR is an EU regulation designed to further strengthen EU residents’ privacy rights by establishing new standards for the protection of personal data. The GDPR is designed to give EU residents more control over — and transparency into — use of their personal data across digital platforms.

Today we’d like to share some of our relevant current practices that are intended to help support customers with regard to their data privacy obligations.

Data Transfers

Under the GDPR, transfers of personal data from the EU to the United States must be in accordance with a valid transfer mechanism. To enable our EU customers to meet this requirement, Smartsheet self-certifies under the EU-US Privacy Shield and the Swiss-US Privacy Shield.

As a data processor, Smartsheet also offers a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) to customers. The Smartsheet DPA has been tailored to Smartsheet as a cloud service provider and to address the unique nuances of our product, operations, and the way Smartsheet interacts with Customer Content. To request a DPA, Please reach out to privacy@smartsheet.com.

Security Practices

Keeping the personal data customers entrust to Smartsheet private and secure is something that we take very seriously. Smartsheet was built from the ground up with strict security requirements and protocols to secure your data, give you control of user access, and provide you with methods to safely share information inside and outside of your organization.
