Privacy and GDPR
GDPR General Data Protection Regulation
GDPR is the General Data Protection Regulation. This is a regulation by which the European Commission intends to improve and unify data protection for individuals within the European Union (EU). It also addresses export of personal data outside the EU. This now comes into force on Friday 25th May 2018. After reviewing this regulation, we believe this is generally very similar to the existing data protection law of the UK. The main purpose of the legislation is to regulate businesses selling to consumers and not generally business to business activity. The GDPR gives you the control over how or if we contact you.
