GDPR (also known as the General Data Protection Regulation) is a new European framework for data protection laws. It gives greater protection and rights and will give you more control on how data is stored.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) seeks to protect and enhance the rights of data subjects. These rights cover the safeguarding of personal data, protection against the unlawful processing of personal data and the unrestricted movement of personal data within the EU. It should be noted that GDPR does not apply to information already in the public domain.
Woonton Building Contractors Ltd (WBC) fully support these new regulations and have reflected our commitment to protect your rights and interests in our new privacy policy.
Woonton Building Contractors Ltd (WBC) has updated this privacy policy to meet the standards of the new European data protection law, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
