Northcom and GDPR
On May 25, 2018, our old personal data law PUL expired and was replaced by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). GDPR strengthens the rights of the individual’s integrity and provides enhanced protection for the individual of all who handle personal data. GDPR increases the requirements for us as companies and we have undergone an internal process to be GDPR-adapted.
