GDPR Statement - Privacy by design

What is GDPR?

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) is European legislation that has been designed to try and harmonise data privacy laws across Europe, to protect and empower all EU citizens data privacy and to reshape the way organisations across the EU approach data privacy.

The GDPR comes into force on 25 May 2018 and introduces an enhanced EU-wide data protection regime that will have a direct effect on member states and any companies established outside the EU who wish to trade with and within the EU.
