Data protection

Why did it have to be me? Because I just threw the delivery note from my last order into the waste paper bin, organized criminals could easily place orders using my customer number and my address - and I paid for everything.

It's the first and last time that happens to me! From now on, all documents which I no longer need but which have my personal details on them will go straight into an HSM document shredder.

It's the first and last time that happens to me ! From now on, all hard copies which are no longer needed will go straight into an HSM document shredder.

Responsibility for organising data protection lies with companies.

Since 25 May 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (UE-GDPR) regulates and harmonises the processing of personal data within the European Union (EU).

What are personal data?

All individual information about people’s personal or material circumstances. For example, name, age, marital status, telephone number, e-mail address, vehicle registration number, medical records and evaluations such as testimonials.

Changes to Data Protection Legislation

From 25 May 2018, the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) replaces all previous data protection laws and applies throughout the EU and the UK. These simple checks could help you remain GDPR compliant. If you answer “YES” to any of these questions, contact us today.
