About these guides
Do I need SkedEz to follow these guides?
No. The guides are written so you can apply the advice with whatever you use today, from a paper planner to another booking tool. SkedEz is mentioned briefly as one way to put some ideas into practice, but the guides are useful without signing up.
Is the data protection guide legal advice?
No. It explains common GDPR principles in plain language to help you understand the topic and prepare questions. Your obligations depend on your country, activity and the data you handle, so consult a qualified professional and your national data protection authority for decisions about your business.
Are the guides available in other languages?
Where a guide is available in another language, it is written for local readers, with local terminology and, where relevant, local context such as national data protection authorities. Use the language selector to see which versions exist.

You can start with the Free plan. Pro costs €9.90 per month or €99.00 per year, and Teams costs €14.90 per month for businesses with several team members. Paid plans start with a free trial of 15 days on monthly billing or 30 days on annual billing, card required. Current prices for your country are shown on the pricing page.
