Easy Gifts UK Ltd is not in the business of selling, renting or trading customer, or customer contact or other personally identifiable information with other companies and will only provide any such information to suitable external companies when required to fulfil customer orders or conduct other legitimate business activities.

This policy aims to meet the requirements of the (GDPR) across all locations, employees and affiliates of Easy Gifts UK Ltd whom act as processor on behalf of our data subjects.

The General Data Protection Regulation replaces the EU Data Protection Directive of 1995 and supersedes the laws of individual Member States that were developed in compliance with the Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC. Its purpose is to protect the “rights and freedoms” of living individuals, and to ensure that personal data is not processed without their knowledge, and, wherever possible, that it is processed with their consent.

The Managing Director of Easy Gifts UK Ltd is responsible for the on-going maintenance, effectiveness and ultimate alignment of this policy to fulfil our legal/regulatory requirements; and remains accountable on its overall performance.
