EU GDPR Information
The European data protection law called the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) became effective on May 25, 2018 and affects all companies who process personal data of individuals in the EU.
Michelle Bentham Creates LLC understands that data protection is important to its users, partners and clients. Blooming Inspired Network fully welcomes the GDPR and is here to help our clients address the GDPR through our robust privacy and security protections.
What is the GDPR?
The GDPR is a new European data protection law which sets out various requirements that became effective on May 25, 2018. It replaces the existing data protection regime for the EU under Directive 95/46/EC, and is intended to harmonize data protection laws throughout the EU by applying a single data protection law that is binding throughout all Member States. Countries outside of the EU, including countries in Asia, are also implementing laws that align with the GDPR.
Who does the GDPR apply to?
The GDPR applies to virtually all organizations that process the “personal data” of EU residents as a result of services offered to them or which monitor them, regardless of whether the organization physically resides in the EU. Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.
Compliance with GDPR
By establishing this privacy policy, Michelle Bentham Creates LLC (et al) and any subsidiaries will seek to comply with all standards of the GDPR to ensure, protect and inform online visitors, customers, clients and partners about the use and retention of their data records relating to online interaction, communication and business transactions. (Effective May 25, 2018)
