Incident #F7638C · 02 JUN 2026minor
Scaleway adds legal bases, event and domain-registrar processing to its EU privacy policy
The privacy policy now lists additional legal bases (legal obligation, legitimate interest) for contract and customer management, and adds new processing purposes: organizing promotional events and complying with registrar rules such as ICANN. It also adds links to security measures and names a DPO contact for exercising rights. The marketing and recruitment sections were renamed.
Taken from you
- Customer data may now also be processed under legal obligation and legitimate interest (security, fraud prevention), not only contract execution
- New processing purpose: organizing promotional events using identity, communication, connection and speaker background data
- New processing purpose: registrar compliance (including ICANN) using identification, account, billing and domain data, shared with resellers and payment providers
Won back
- Links to security and resilience pages, Trust Center and technical and organizational measures
- Rights requests can be directed to a named DPO contact
- Clearer listing of legal bases for each processing purpose
