and.. Data Privacy : Fastly’s Priority
● The EU’s GDPR and California’s CCPA are leading the way for
government guided data privacy
● Regulations globally are currently inconsistent and too often
non-existent
● Fastly has taken a unique approach to data privacy, preferring
to collect less information than competitors
● We believe that you own your data, and we do not have an
inherent right to collect it without permission or disclosure
● Further discussion on the right behavior for companies to
handling data is needed
