(UK)GDPR

 

Update following the UK’s exit from the EU: The GDPR is retained in domestic law as the ‘UK GDPR’, but the UK has the independence to keep the framework under review. The ‘UK GDPR’ sits alongside an amended version of the DPA 2018. The key principles, rights and obligations remain the same. Further guidance here: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/data-protection-and-the-eu/data-protection-and-the-eu-in-detail/the-uk-gdpr/

This Privacy Notice shall become effective as of 25 May 2018; it updates and works in addition to our website terms: https://strathcarron.com/website-terms-conditions/.

On the 25th May 2018, the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) shall come into effect. Under this new law, European standards in data protection shall align with current technology standards. This is good news for all individuals who are affected by data processing, and raises standards and enforces new processes, obligations and transparency in relation to the handling and security of your personal data.
