THE GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION (GDPR)

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive update to existing European Union laws that went into effect on May 25, 2018. The GDPR was designed to harmonize data privacy laws across Europe, to protect and empower all EU resident’s data privacy, and to reshape the way organizations across the region approach data privacy.

We care about your privacy and that’s why we were already GDPR compliant, and why we only store customer data that is needed to provide our services. We also think privacy is for everyone, which is why we’re ensuring that our policies continue to meet the high standard of the European data protection laws, and why we’re extending the same rights to all our users, inside and outside the EU. While many of these changes will not be directly visible to you, we’re providing greater clarity on the way TIGNUM collects, uses, and manages information collected by this website through our Privacy Policy below.
