When customers walk while saying “I would love to do business with them” is the eventual key to success. Salesforce is one of the technologies that is winning the hearts of customers.
Am I right? Probably, because Salesforce is the #1 CRM in the world.I hope the readers have liked part 1 of data security blog which was dedicated to Salesforce Shield http://www.vinaychaturvedi.com/blog/salesforce-shield-protecting-customers-data/. As promised, I am back with part 2 bringing you with some more interesting facts about Data Privacy.
General Data Protection Regulation ushers an innovative era in Data Privacy. If you are using cloud apps like Salesforce, Google G Suite then under GDPR Act, you should do a few things about Data Privacy. Are you aiming to gather and protect your personal data from cloud apps? Then, GDPR is here to assist you. Isn’t it amazing? Readers are you ready to delve into what’s in store within GDPR or more importantly GDPR readiness within Salesforce.
May be closely monitoring your customer data starting with the cookies is where you can initiate your Salesforce GDPR compliance strategy for e-commerce. Most noteworthy, EU’s GDPR regulation strictly applies to all the companies doing business in European Union or with the European citizens online in order to protect the privacy and personal information of the citizens. As a result, the customers of Salesforce Commerce Cloud catering to European customers must align with the GDPR compliance strategies.
Besides e-commerce, the customers of Salesforce Marketing Cloud also need to be aligned with EU’s GDPR. Above all, as the technology is booming, marketing tech is becoming more complicated. Therefore, Salesforce GDPR compliance within Marketing Cloud will become more complex i.e. the ways in which they make use of customer data. Seems like, marketers need to evaluate and reconsider all the marketing strategies which is being targeted to European customers. European customers need to re-strategize their policies no matter what Salesforce product they are using.

GDPR for Salesforce Admins and Developers
Probably, Salesforce with it’s every release enhances the platform with some of the amazing new features. Above all, Salesforce came up with the concept of individual object with Spring’18 release. So, a Salesforce admin needs to enable it from data protection & privacy configuration page. Most importantly, once this feature is enabled then both admins and developers can begin using individual object.
Individual object is use to track person’s data collection preferences i.e. whether they want to be processed or not and so on. An individual record is not associated with one lead, contact or person account record. Besides, if a lead and contact record both are for the similar person then person’s preferences can be tracked with a single individual record value linking both lead and contact record.
GDPR seems like daunting only if personal information is being stored on more than one database. In contrast, with Salesforce as a consolidated CRM having fewer databases will limit GDPR issues. Probably, managing large volumes of data can be troublesome. Therefore, strategies need to be planned out. Consequently, GDPR can completely revolutionize and transform the organizations by improving data privacy and security. As a result, the features discussed in this blog are just a few of the benefits of GDPR within Salesforce. Let’s keep finding out more and more.
