“Our commitment to GDPR
We are working hard to prepare for the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Keeping users’ information safe and secure is among our highest priorities at Google. Over the years, we have spent a lot of time working closely with Data Protection Authorities in Europe, and we have already implemented strong privacy protections that reflect their guidance. We are committed to complying with the new legislation and will collaborate with partners throughout this process.”
Similarly, Dropbox state
“Dropbox is committed to the security and the protection of our users’ data in line with legal requirements and best practices at all times. As detailed in our Trust Guide (https://www.dropbox.com/business/trust ), we already conform with many of the provisions of the GDPR.
In line with our commitment to our users, we are continuing to build and execute on our detailed GDPR compliance plans and are on the way to full compliance in advance of 25 May 2018. We are also making adjustments to ensure that, as further guidance continues to emerge from data protection authorities, our process and practices meet or exceed specific elements of the new rules.
