GDPR
What is GDPR?
In 2016, the European Commission approved and adopted the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This regulation marks a significant change in data protection within the EU, replacing the previous legal framework, which included the Data Protection Directive and various member state laws. GDPR will be enforced starting May 25, 2018.
At Wedding Hub, we are committed to ensuring your data privacy and security in compliance with GDPR standards. For more information on how we protect your personal information, visit Weddinghub.io.
Why is GDPR important?
At Wedding Hub, we prioritize the privacy and security of your personal data. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) introduces several new rights and obligations for how companies handle and protect individuals’ data. This regulation aims to enhance and unify data protection across the board by increasing enforcement and establishing a tiered penalty structure for any breaches. We have thoroughly reviewed these rules and policies and are actively taking the necessary steps to ensure full compliance with GDPR standards.

As part of our commitment to transparency and data protection, our compliance and information security teams have worked diligently to align our services with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
