2. General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a European Union (EU) law taking effect on May 25th, 2018. GDPR is designed to give greater protection to an individual’s personal information and how it’s collected, stored, and used. There are strict requirements placed on companies that possess the personal data of people located in the EU.
Under GDPR, individuals have greater control over how their personal information is collected, stored, and used. Individuals have a right to access their data, which means the right to know where, why, and how their data is processed. This includes the right to request a report to access their data. Additionally, individuals have a right to be forgotten, which means their data can be deleted.
Byers & Birrell believes in treating everyone with whom it works or communicates with respect, and that includes you. This also means respecting your privacy to the best of our ability. That means that we will not abuse or misuse the information you give us in any way. We won’t sell your information to anyone or give it to other companies or individuals. We won’t load up your email with junk (just an occasional email from us if you choose) or call you with any sales messages. In short, your information is safe with us.
If you need to access or delete data we hold you can call 0141 334 7777 or write to us at: Byers and Birrell, 251-255 Crow Road, Broomhill, Glasgow G11 7BE.
