How does GDPR affect your personal data?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) law goes into effect on May 25, 2018. This will replace the EU Data Protection Directive and will apply a single data protection law throughout the EU.
Data protection laws govern the way that businesses collect, use and share your personal data. This requires businesses to process an individual’s personal data fairly and lawfully, allow individuals to exercise legal rights in respect of their personal data and ensure appropriate security protections are put in place to protect the personal data.
We have taken steps to ensure that we will be compliant with the GDPR by May 25, 2018.
When you use our products and services to process EU personal data, we act as a data processor. We store data that you have given us voluntarily.
To ensure full compliance our third-party partners each have provided a Data Processing Agreement, all of which can be read below.
