GDPR: Important Changes to Social Wi-Fi and Privacy Policy

Your data privacy and security is always our first priority. In accordance with the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) coming into force on 25 May 2018 in Europe, we have taken the following measures:

  1. Changed InControl’s Wi-Fi Captive Portal Functionality and Wi-Fi Privacy Policy
    • Released InControl 2.6.2
    • [Updated Wi-Fi Privacy Policy](https://s3.amazonaws.com/forum.peplink.com/uploads/621feabeaa6f7b31eb33528cc9e823092de6e1ed.pdf)
  2. Updated Company Privacy Policy to Comply with the GDPR

1) Changed InControl’s Wi-Fi Captive Portal Functionality and Wi-Fi Privacy Policy

As of InControl 2.6.2, the Wi-Fi captive portal’s social network access mode will only collect the end user’s email address and User ID from their Social media Platform. All other personal information or statistics will be deleted and no longer be available. In addition, we have revised the Privacy Policy that users have to consent to before signing into the captive portal.

2) Updated Company Privacy Policy to Comply with the GDPR

In compliance with the GDPR, we have updated our Privacy Policy to make it easier for you to understand what information we collect and why we collect it. Nothing is changing about how your information is processed. We improved the way we describe our practices and how we explain the options you have by making our Privacy Policy easier to understand.
