What is GDPR?
In 2016, the European Commission approved the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), replacing the previous Data Protection Directive and national laws. The GDPR took effect on 25 May 2018.
Why is GDPR Important?
GDPR introduces a range of new rights and responsibilities related to the safeguarding of individuals’ processed data. Its overarching goal is to bolster and harmonise data protection for individuals by ramping up enforcement efforts and establishing a graduated penalty system for breaches. We’ve thoroughly examined the regulations and protocols and are actively implementing the necessary measures to achieve compliance.
What has Property Found done to comply with GDPR?
Our compliance and information security teams have ensured our services meet GDPR regulations. After reviewing our data processing, we’ve made necessary product adjustments, including an update to our GDPR Rights Disclosure.
PropertyFound.net (also known as Property Found and its affiliates) provides these GDPR Rights Disclosures to supplement our Website Terms of Use and Privacy Policy for individuals in the European Economic Area (EEA).
Property Found provides insights on how we collect, use, and disclose personal information under GDPR for EEA residents. For inquiries, please contact us at info@propertyfound.net.
Property Found may modify this GDPR Rights Disclosure without notice. The latest version date will be at the top of the page. Please review it periodically for updates.
