Privacy Question

[Daniel_Gjode]

Hi fellow Gliders,

Maybe these questions needs answering from Glide, but I’ll give it a go here too in the hope that some of you have knowledge or insights?:

SUBPROCESSORS:
Which of Glide’s sub-processors touch data entered into Glide by App / Page Users? (As opposed to my information as a developer) Glide • Subprocessors – Is it only Google Cloud Platform, provided I use Glide Tables and doesn’t trigger functions that call the other sub-processors?

EU VERSION OF GCP
Is there a way to choose “EU based version of GCP” or is this or something similar on your future roadmap? This would make a lot of things easier for all Glide users in EU, relative to GDPR (GCP offers this, and it would be awesome if this option was also possible to select from a Glide Account).

ENCRYPTION
Are there any plans / current ways to encrypt data on device-level, e.g. encrypted by a private key (BYOK encryption) at transfer and rest? GCP supports this too, so maybe it can be activated “fairly easily” (no such thing, I know). Bring Your Own Encryption (BYOE)

I want to help!
Getting more clarity on these aspects are super important for any Glide User in the EU, and I really hope Glide is able to prioritise this as part of their growth journey. @david , @Mark and the team at Glide: I’m happy to help… I know Rome wasn’t built in a day, and maybe a dialogue around this could be a first step?

Cheers,
Daniel

Hey there, have you seen this long thread already?

Sad (but now HAPPY) story. Lost 8 projects over GDPR issues - new feature added

I knew this was coming, unfortunately. As I was developing affordable apps, the interest kept spiking amongst my clients. Until the point that a single client commissioned N.8 apps. However, shortly after, I had to deal with one of their Privacy Lawyers who explained how the system infringes GDPR compliance. Both myself nor the client weren’t planning any fancy data processing mechanism (we didn’t even have Google Analytics installed yet). However, even just the act of filling a form or sa…

Thanks @christian_k – I hadn’t!
It’s a great thread, but it doesn’t really provide the answers I’m after.

At the heart of things: Glide is currently not GDPR compliant with the existing setup and documentation, and I would love to get some clarity (roadmap, dialogue, solutions, documentation) that would enable me and everyone else to use Glide to build apps with user data in it (= peace of mind).

I would hate to have to switch platform, or develop my app from scratch, as I love using Glide and feel I can grow my business better and faster using Glide (if only GDPR is solved…)
