On 25 May 2018 a new European privacy law, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), came into force. It imposes new rules on companies, government agencies, non-profits, and other organisations which offer goods and services to EU individuals or which collect and analyse their data. The GDPR applies no matter where the data is processed and where the organisation processing data is physically located. It is meant to strengthen users rights in light of fast technological developments and increased globalisation of business operations involving any form of processing personal data.
The GDPR regulates the “processing” of personal data for EU individuals, which includes collection, storage, transfer, or use. The term “personal data” is very broad under new regulation and extends to any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual (a “data subject”).
The GDPR also expands the concept of sensitive data (personal data revealing: racial/ethnic origin, political/religious etc views, trade union membership, health, sex life and sexual orientation, genetic and biometric data). My Honesty Box can assure its users that it does not process any of such sensitive data.
My Honesty Box is committed to comply with EU data protection regulation and provides its EU users with a number of important assurances, such as the following:
