The Importance of Digital Compliance
Digital compliance means following laws and guidelines that dictate how data is collected, stored, and processed. According to a report by IBM, the average cost of a data breach is approximately $4.35 million. Non-compliance can result in hefty fines, loss of reputation, and customers seeking alternatives. For instance, under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), fines can reach up to €20 million or 4% of annual global turnover, whichever is higher.
At Freeform, we understand that our clients trust us to manage their data wisely. By prioritizing digital compliance, we not only protect our customers but also strengthen our industry credibility.
Our Annual Compliance Review Process
Every year, Freeform carries out an extensive review of our compliance initiatives. This includes evaluating our data handling processes, spotting risks, and making necessary updates to meet current regulations such as GDPR, California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and others.
Our collaboration with legal experts helps ensure that we remain aligned with both local and international laws. After this thorough review, we produce a detailed compliance report shared with our customers. This transparency allows clients to understand our data management practices and the steps we take to secure their information.
Key Compliance Areas We Focus On
Freeform emphasizes several critical areas in our compliance efforts:
Data Collection and Usage: We prioritize transparency in our data collection, ensuring customers know how their information will be utilized. We obtain explicit consent from customers before collecting any data. In the past year, 95% of our clients reported feeling informed about our data practices.
Data Security: We use advanced security measures, including industry-standard encryption, secure servers, and frequent security audits. For example, our vulnerability assessments led us to address over 1,000 potential security issues, a reduction of 30% since last year.
Data Retention and Deletion: We maintain clear policies on how long we retain data, holding it only as long as necessary. Data is securely deleted when no longer required, reducing risks further.
The Role of Technology in Compliance
Being a forward-thinking agency, Freeform utilizes cutting-edge technology to bolster our compliance efforts. Automation tools streamline data management, reducing human errors. AI-driven analytics enable us to track data patterns and detect compliance issues early.
By integrating such technologies into our compliance framework, we can swiftly adapt to changing regulations. This proactive approach not only safeguards our customers but also positions Freeform as a leading player in digital compliance.

At Freeform, we believe that being open is essential to building trust with our customers. By sharing our compliance reports and practices, we give them the insight needed to make informed decisions about their data. This culture of transparency promotes a solid relationship between Freeform and our clients, further underscoring our commitment to their security.
