General Data Protection Regulation – GDPR is a piece of legislation which has significantly changed the way in which data belonging to citizens of the European Union is protected.

From May 25th, 2018 any businesses operating inside AND outside the EU will have to maintain much stricter controls on the way in which they collect, record and store personally identifiable data of a European Citizen.

Although this is a European piece of legislation, it’s been specifically created to protect EU citizens regardless of where in the world they (or their data) may be, meaning businesses in all corners of the globe are affected.

What is personally identifiable data?

Any piece of data that relates to a specific person that can be used to directly or indirectly identify that person. Standard pieces of data like names, email addresses, phone number or identification numbers are all personal data; but other less obvious examples exist as well such as credit card numbers, IP addresses, place of education, employer etc.

Although this law only applies to European Citizens we have implemented the controls company wide and offer the same strict controls and privacy to all our clients irrespective of nationality therefore please take note of the following information.
