General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
What is the GDPR?
As of the 25th of May 2018 European businesses are required to adhere to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) regulations. The purpose of the regulation is to give clients more control over their personal data that is stored by you, especially in regards to marketing to them.
