It does not materially change the ways you\u2019ve licensed our products or services. \u00a0Rather it helps facilitate GDPR compliance for both parties.<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you licensed our products through our store our updated agreement is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cpanel.com\/legal-store.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">here.<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are a reseller or distributor, you are required to provide our agreement to your customers. \u00a0Their revised contract is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cpanel.com\/noc-agreements.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">here.<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have a \u201cPartner NOC\u201d agreement with us, amendments to your Partner NOC Agreement are <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cpanel.com\/partner-noc-amendments.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">here<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the revised and updated agreements provide a definitive answer, here is a brief summary of the changes we\u2019ve made.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Privacy Policy<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our Privacy Policy has been completely revised.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cpanel.com\/transparency-report.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Transparency Report <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">governs our disclosure of information to law enforcement and similar entities.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We set out how we collect, process, store and transmit information in two schedules:<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Schedule 1 discusses these issues as they relate to the use of our products and services.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Schedule 2 discusses these issues as they relate to the automatic collection of data.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We discuss whether the information is provided to third parties.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We provide additional information for individuals located in the EU and California.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The privacy policy details how we use cookies.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>What about Privacy Shield?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cPanel has been diligently seeking approval of its Privacy Policy for over a month. \u00a0Unfortunately, we have not received word from the U.S. Department of Commerce approving our Privacy Policy for Privacy Shield. \u00a0We believe that the reason for this is the volume of privacy policies that have been submitted in the run-up to May 25<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and not as a result of a material deficiency. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our Privacy Policy has been independently reviewed by two separate entities for Privacy Shield compliance. \u00a0However, at this time, we are prohibited by law from representing that we are Privacy Shield certified. When we are Privacy Shield certified, the agreements above will be amended to reflect this \u2013 indeed they have already been drafted to reflect that. \u00a0If you have questions about the impact of this slight delay, please email gdprquestions@cpanel.net<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Revised Agreements<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our agreements have been updated to add a Data Processing Addendum (DPA) with the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A discussion about the transfer of data.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A statement of our security obligations.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An obligation to assist with data protection impact assessments.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As noted above, we do not believe that these changes contain major surprises. \u00a0We understand that customers, partners, and others may have questions about GDPR, or the process we chose to facilitate our compliance with GDPR. \u00a0If you have questions, you can open a ticket, or email: gdprquestions@cpanel.net.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Communication Re-Opt In We\u2019ve been preparing in several ways to support our commitments to customers and end users.
