**Which songs does GDPR make you think of, asked Donorfy’s founder Robin Fisk. Dozens
of fundraisers and charity data protection staff responded over the weekend in humorous
vein to produce a GDPR Spotify playlist.**

The light-hearted crowdsourced [playlist](http://bit.ly/GDPRplaylist) features tracks
from Abba and Blondie to Ed Sheeran. Each track has a title with some guidance or
relevance to GDPR and data protection including:

_Call Me Maybe_ by Carly Rae Jepson
_Return To Sender_ by Elvis Presley_Under Pressure_
by Queen & David Bowie_Complicated_ by Avril Lavigne

The request was posted on the Fundraising Chat Facebook group and received a rapid
response.

Robin Fisk, founder of [Donorfy](http://donorfy.com), explains why he started the
GDPR playlist. He said: “We know that database managers everywhere are focused on
the GDPR deadline, so we thought this playlist would help them as they go about 
their re-permissioning campaigns and updating their data protection policies…”

Donorfy’s CRM for charities is of course already helping hundreds of charities make
sure they are GDPR compliant in time for the May 2018 deadline and beyond.

_GDPR – top of the pops?_

The tone may be light-hearted but the message is serious.

Fisk added: “While your CRM can’t make your organisation GDPR compliant overall,
it must provide the tools to enable you to be compliant. So charities across the
UK need to become familiar with the requirements of the regulations, and take an
honest look at whether their CRM and processes measure up. Donorfy can help up track
donors’ permissions and preferences and gives you the tools to do that reliably 
and securely.”

Donorfy’s GDPR features include a self-service preference centre that enables supporters
to set their permissions via the charity’s website, and a full audit trail to show
the history of consent and the privacy policy in use at the time.
