The General Data Protection Regulation is a landmark privacy set of rules in force in the European Union since 2018. We’re here to help you comply with the GDPR through our robust privacy and security failsafes.
Please note: this page explains the impact of GDPR on the use of Overloop only and isn’t applicable for any other aspects of your business. It should not be considered as legal advice.
You may have been caught in the buzz around GDPR compliance. If you’re asking yourself: “What does this mean?”, relax, you’re not alone. We know the topic can be confusing and we’re here to break down what GDPR is and how it will affect your business.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a regulation by which the European Parliament, the Council of the European Union, and the European Commission intend to improve data protection for all individuals within the European Union (EU).
The GDPR replaces the 1995 Data Protection Directive. It is the new Europe-wide set of rules governing the use and handling of individuals’ personal data. You can read the full regulation here.
It has 3 goals:
Overloop is aware of GDPR requirements and restrictions, and is fully compliant with them.
If you collect or process the personal data of any European citizen, regardless of the country in which your company is based, the GDPR will affect your business.
The GDPR has also eliminated the distinctions between various types of businesses — including B2B, B2C, for-profit, and nonprofit — meaning the law applies equally to all organizations that process the personal data of European citizens.
One of the main goals of the GDPR is to extend the rights of European residents in regards to the handling of their personal data. This can be summarized as follows:
The GDPR has also created new rights of access and data protection for “data subjects”:
Everything you might want to know about GDPR is available on the EU GDPR Information Portal.
We have added a Data Processing Addendum (DPA) to our Terms of Service. Please mail us at to get a copy of our new DPA. Then, please review, countersign, and return it to us.
The GDPR does not outlaw the use of cold emailing, as long as the emails you are sending are directed to people who will find their content useful. Some requirements also need to be fulfilled nonetheless.
At Overloop, trust is our #1 value and nothing is more important than the success of our customers and the protection of their data.
We are data controllers when we process data we collect from our customers.
We are data processors when we process data belonging to our customers.

As an Overloop customer, there are a few things you should do to comply with the GDPR.
Learn how to rectify and delete your leads’ information
The right to access, modify and delete data is one of the key points of the GDPR. Find out how to delete leads or modify their information.
Delete the leads and lists you no longer need
Another main objective of the GDPR is to minimize the risks of data breaches or leaks and prevent the misuse of European residents’ personal data.
This is why it is better to delete all of your leads who are inactive or those who have unsubscribed from your communications already. If you are not using this information, then it is more advisable to discard it altogether.
Consult with your legal counsel
