- Scope
- Avanan processes all files and messages that an organization might store or transmit in a cloud-based service to determine policy compliance or malicious intent. Avanan has no control over the content of these files or messages, which may contain personal data. Once processed, the compliance status or malicious determination is stored as metadata, and the original files deleted after 14 days if non-malicious. A limited amount of personal data may be collected within the metadata to which noncompliant files or malicious code is attached such as email or IP address. The original message or file which could potentially contain personal information is neither stored nor shared with third parties, except in those cases in which the owner of the data has requested that Avanan send files and messages to a third party sub-processor for additional analysis. In these cases, the PrivacyShield and GDPR status of any third party sub-processor is determined and disclosed to the owner.

What GDPR means, and what it does not
"GDPR compliant" is a claim, not a certification. The verifiable facts are a public DPA, SCC usage, an EU representative, data residency options and a Data Privacy Framework listing.

Is Avanan GDPR compliant?
There is no GDPR certification in general use. The verifiable facts are a public data processing agreement, standard contractual clauses, an EU representative and a Data Privacy Framework listing. See the legal artefacts and the DPF row on this page, each with its capture date.
How does CertReports verify this?
Every state carries a capture date, a source and a snapshot link. Registry rows come from the official registry data; vendor statements come from the vendor’s own page or trust centre; nothing is inferred. Vendors can dispute any row and corrections ship within two business days.
