GDPR
Known as the General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR became law on 25th May 2018. GDPR impacts how all organisations collect and process people’s personal data.
In preparation for 25 May, we focused on our GDPR compliance efforts. During the implementation period for the Regulation we evaluated the new requirements and restrictions imposed by the GDPR and took any action necessary and/or appropriate to ensure that we handle personal data in compliance with applicable law by the 2018 deadline.
Our clients received updated terms of business based on changes that we implemented and rolled out, early in 2018.
We utilise many industry standard information systems and secure third-party cloud based solutions, all with restricted access to client data by our employees and agents. Our emails and website are also encrypted for extra safety for situations where an exchange of personal data may take place. As a company, we only hold personal details on our clients that is necessary for the lawful processing activities associated with the delivery of our products and services.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is GDPR?
In May 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), introduced by the European Union, will come into effect.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the result of 4 years of work by EU member states to address new data threats. As compared with the Data Protection Act, it introduces stiffer fines for companies which are not compliant and gives consumers and data subjects greater control over the ways in which their personal data is being used. In addition, it makes these new protection rules consistent throughout the EU and worldwide for organisations seeking to do business with EU Citizens.
