Hi,

I had a query regarding the segmentation of data based on GDPR. My question was if I enable the GDPR toggle, it will affect my entire database. But, is there a way via which I could enable the GDPR only for the campaigns that are targeted towards UK and EU audiences and disable the GDPR for the rest of the world?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi @SJoshi1,

The GDPR settings are either on or off, especially this “Legal basis required” checkbox. There isn’t anything in between.

You can learn more about the consequences of turning these features on here: [Manage data privacy settings in your HubSpot account](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/account/how-do-i-turn-on-gdpr-functionality-in-my-hubspot-account)

Let me know if you have any follow-up questions.

Thanks @karstenkoehler for clearing that up.
