Below is a list of our current compliance commitments, where we have established organizational and technical controls to ensure that we adhere to these commitments.
For answers to frequently answered questions about our compliance commitments, you can take a look at our Compliance FAQ.
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is an important piece of legislation that is designed to strengthen and unify data protection laws for all individuals within the European Union (EU). The regulation became effective and enforceable on the 25th of May 2018. The GDPR enhances EU individuals’ privacy rights and places significantly enhanced obligations on handling data.

California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
As a privacy-centric company, Hotjar is excited to see the subject of privacy get more attention. We’ve made a number of enhancements in preparation for the CCPA.

EU-US Privacy Shield Framework
The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has struck down the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework. This means that data controllers in the European Union (EU) can no longer rely on certifications of data recipients in the United States (US) under the Privacy Shield to justify the transfer of personal data from the EU to the US.
