GDPR

GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It is a privacy and data protection law passed by European Union (EU) and is in effect since May 25, 2018. The law has set a new framework for handling and protecting the personal data of EU-based residents. The law will provide the citizens of the EU a greater control over their personal data and assures them that their information is protected.

GDPR includes a broad spectrum of information that could be used on its own, or in combination with other pieces of information, to identify a person. Personal data extends beyond a person’s name or email address. Some typical examples include financial information, political opinions, genetic data, biometric data, IP addresses, physical address, sexual orientation, and ethnicity.

We at iMediaBay, believe that our customers’ data is very much important no matter where they are located. Hence, few preventive controls have been put in place based on GDPR Compliance as our baseline standard for all our Business operations.
