Hello and happy Tuesday, we hope you had a great weekend!

First off, the GDPR is coming into effect this week. In light of that, we'd like to let you know a little more information about how Barcinno handles your personal data.

1. The only information we store about you is your email address and, for statistical purposes, the emails you've opened, which links you've clicked and via which browser.

2. All your data is stored and hosted by our reliable newsletter tool, Revue.

3. We don't share your data with anybody else, and will never use it for anything other than sending you our newsletter email once a week.

4. You can unsubscribe from Barcinno's newsletter at any moment by simply clicking "unsubscribe" at the bottom of our emails.

Still in the dark about GDPR for your business? Here are some useful articles on what you need to know and steps to take to make sure you're fully compliant come May 25th, but you'd better move fast!

On Thursday, ESADE is hosting a speaker series on Data & Fintech featuring several industry professionals and business leaders. Head here to find out more and sign up.

This week also brings one of the leading digital health events to Catalonia: the HIMSS Europe & Health 2.0 Conference takes place on 27-29 May in Sitges. Find more information and book your ticket here.

Ok, that's enough from me. Have a great week and we'll see you out there!
