GDPR

On the topic of Rights for European Residents under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Regulation (EU) 2016/679 is a crucial privacy and data protection directive in the European Union (EU). It establishes new obligations for entities that control or process relevant personal information, while also introducing fresh rights and safeguards for individuals within the EU. The GDPR governs the handling of data by EU-based organizations as well as those outside the EU that offer goods or services to EU residents. If the GDPR is applicable to you, the following principles will come into play:

  • Personal data will be handled in a fair and lawful manner.

  • Personal data will only be processed for specific, legitimate purposes.

  • Steps will be taken to keep personal data relevant and accurate, with regular updates as appropriate.

  • Personal data will not be retained for longer than necessary.

  • Requests to delete data or exercise the right to be forgotten will be respected.

  • Requests to stop data processing will be honored.

  • Stringent security measures will be implemented to protect all personal data.

  • Transfer of personal data to countries outside the European Economic Area ('EEA') will only occur if GDPR standards are met and sufficient safeguards are in place.

Should you have any inquiries regarding these issues, feel free to contact us.
