The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) stands as the most stringent global law governing privacy and security. Originating from the European Union (EU), it extends its obligations to organizations worldwide, as long as they engage in targeting or collecting data pertaining to individuals in the EU.
This regulation came into force on May 25, 2018, and it carries significant penalties for those found in breach of its privacy and security standards, including fines that can escalate into the tens of millions of euros.
The purpose of this document is to furnish essential information about GDPR, elucidating the law and outlining how wcEazy intends to integrate GDPR principles into their products and services.
At wcEazy, safeguarding user data and upholding privacy is of paramount importance to us. Since the inception of our company, we have adhered to stringent data protection and privacy principles. Fortunately, these principles closely align with several GDPR standards.
