Your privacy is important to us and we take it very seriously. We want to help everyone who uses Velvet Apple Media Ltd services to get the most out of them. This policy covers all our brands – Recruitment Agency Now and associated products and services.

 

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) is a new regulation which replaces the Data Protection Regulation (Directive 95/46/EC). The Regulation aims to harmonise data protection legislation across EU member states, enhancing privacy rights for individuals and providing a strict framework within which commercial organisations can legally operate. Even though the UK has expressed its intention to leave the EU in March 2019, the GDPR will be applicable in the UK from 25th May 2018. Furthermore the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has recently laid out its intention to continue with a similar level of regulation post March 2019.

 

The policy below lays out in simple English how the GDPR and the current ePrivacy Directive (soon to be updated) applies to the way VAMedia Ltd handles your personal data. Our aim is to be responsible, relevant and secure when using your data.  VA Media specialises in business and industry news, commercial product information and professional networking across of range of professional industries and services. Our expectation is that individuals giving consent share these aims and objectives.  If this is not your expectation, please do not subscribe. Entering your email into the subscription box indicates that you have read and understood the terms and conditions of the policy.
