GDPR

Effective May 25, 2018, the European Union (EU) data protection law, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), gives individuals in the EU more control over how their data is used and places certain obligations on businesses that process that data. We’ve taken the necessary steps to comply with this regulation including identifying our data processors, what information we collect, how it’s used, where its stored, how it can be accessed, and who controls it. We’ve also updated our Privacy Policy and created internal policies around data retention and compliance with GDPR requests. For more information about GDPR and how it may affect you, please visit https://gdpr-info.eu/

Rights of EU Data Subjects
Under the GDPR, individuals in the EU have certain rights with respect to their personally identifiable information. These rights include:

  • The right to access personal data we may be collecting, including the right to obtain confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning you is being processed, where, and for what purpose;
  • The right to have any incorrect information rectified; 
  • The right to have your personal data erased and the right to cease further dissemination of the data; 
  • The right to data portability or the right to receive your personal data and to transmit it to another data controller;
  • The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;
  • The right to withdraw consent where consent for the collection of personally identifiable information has previously been given; and
  • The right to be notified of a data breach with 72 hours of us becoming aware of it, if such breach is likely to “result in a risk for the rights and freedoms of individuals.”
