Questions about the new General Data Protection Regulation
Why does Rubberlink wants my consent now?
Rubberlinkalways bothered to protect your personal data, requesting only data that is strictly necessary, maintaining their update and adopting security internal policies, in compliance with the best practices and applicable legislation. Recently, the EU adopted the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) that entitles the data owners a series of new rights. One of the main changes is the obligation to obtain the free, specific, informed and explicit consent of the data subjects for activities like Marketing and Satisfaction Surveys, avoiding abuse in sending unsolicited messages.
What if I don’t give my consent now?
The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) becomes applicable on May 25th 2018, which means that in case you didn’t give your free, specific, informed and explicit consent until this date, you will no longer be able to receive our communications with services and activities to your company by email, phone or otherwise.
Why are you asking for my contact information if I’m already a client and already provided them?
In order to guarantee the safety and legitimization of your personal data, these are no longer automatically populated. We ask you to fill in the respective fields in order to update your personal data in our systems.
What can you do with my personal data in case I give my consent?
The information regarding the purpose of the treatment of your personal data, the entities to whom your personal data may be communicated, the maximum period of its preservation and associated rights, including its form of exercise, has been duly included in the privacy policy in our website and in the end of the consent form.
