Exec Hunter Limited GDPR Statement
 

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which will be effective from May 25, 2018 is designed to protect the fundamental right to privacy for every EU resident. Simply put, EU residents will now have greater say over what, how, why, where, and when their personal data is used, processed, or disposed. This rule clarifies how the EU personal data laws apply even beyond the borders of the EU and as such is regulation affecting all members, and therefore does not require the UK to draw up new legislation and will apply automatically
Any organization that works with EU residents’ personal data in any manner, irrespective of location, has obligations to protect the data. FGS is enhancing its existing data protection policies and providing the right tools and processes to support its users and customers to meet GDPR mandates.
