Deployment Guide

Due to EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), it is extremely important that, in addition to other measures
you take to comply with the GDPR, you configure Sapphire so that your compliance with GDPR is not adversely
affected. Sapphire provides two modes for GDPR operation: on or off:
● When GDPR is off, Sapphire does not collect any client data from Eyes located in EU countries. This is the
default mode.
● When GDPR is on, Sapphire collects client data from all countries, including EU.
● If GDPR mode is set to off, it is still possible to enable it on at Organization level.
Set the correct GDPR mode after Carat installation. Open the file
/opt/7signal/Carat/7signal/conf/server_conf.prop in an editor and locate carat.gdpr.mode
configuration parameter.
Set the value according to deployment plan:
● GDPR off:
o carat.gdpr.mode=false
● GDPR on:
o carat.gdpr.mode=true
If the server is located in an EU country, but you wish to control client data on an enterprise level, GDPR
mode in configuration file should be set “off” (false). GDPR mode can later on turned in Configurator by
editing Organizations.
Examples:
● Carat server is in US, all Eyes in US
o GDPR mode should be “off”
● Carat server is in US, some Eyes are in US, some Eyes are in EU
o GDPR mode should be “off”. Client data won’t be collected from Eyes located in EU.
