Our BCRs were modified in 2018 to meet our new commitments in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Salesforce also continues to be an active member of working groups set up by the European Commission, which bring together cloud players to address issues such as data protection, data portability and cybersecurity.
