General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

Last updated: 14 Mar 2023

What is GDPR?

GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation and is a new comprehensive data protection law in the EU that replaces existing laws to strengthen the protection of personal data and the rights of the individual. It is a single set of rules, directly enforceable in each EU member state.

We are fully compliant with the GDPR. If you are located in the European Union, you can sign a data processing agreement (DPA) here.
