The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), is a European privacy law that will go into effect on May 25th 2018. Established by the EU Parliament, the GDPR regulates how individuals and organizations can obtain, use, store, and remove personal data. The full text can be found here.

The Data Protection Principles include the following requirements:

• Personal data must be processed in a fair, legal, and transparent way. It should only be used in a way that a person would reasonably expect.
• Personal data should only be collected to fulfill a specific purpose, and it should only be used for that purpose. Organizations must specify why they need the personal data when they collect it.
• Personal data should be held no longer than necessary to fulfill its purpose.
• People covered by the GDPR have the right to access their own personal data. They can also request a copy of their data, and request that their data be updated, deleted, restricted, or transported to another organization.

If you, as an EU citizen, want to request a copy of your data or imply that we have change or delete it, please, contact our support team.
