GDPR
The General Data Production Regulation
The General Data Production Regulation came into effect on 25 May 2018, it replaces the Data Protection Act 1998. This EU regulation protects consumer and customers against the rising data breaches, and here at Zavis, we want to make sure that we are keeping your customer data secure and that we make our marketing communications as clear as possible.
