GoldenEye Privacy Policy

GoldenEye Privacy Policy

Cambridge Healthcare Supplies Ltd are committed to keeping your data secure and safe. This Privacy Policy gives you detailed information on when and why we collect your personal information, how we use it and how we keep it secure.

GDPR

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a new piece of EU legislation that came into force on the 25th May 2018. The core intent of GDPR is to give individuals more control over the use of their personal data and how data is stored. This legislation will replace current data privacy law, giving more rights to you as an individual and more obligations to organisations holding your personal data.

One of the rights is a right to be informed, which means we have to give you even more information than we do now about the way in which we use, share and store your personal information.

Why we process Personal Data (what is the “purpose”)

What is our Lawful Basis for processing Personal Data?

The Law says we must tell you this:
