Privacy Policy
INTRODUCTION
Versatile People (“us”, “we”, or “our”) operates www.theversatilepeople.com and provides outsourcing / offshoring back office support services (hereinafter referred to as “Service”).
Versatile People respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. Our Privacy Policy governs your visit to www.theversatilepeople.com, and explains how we collect, safeguard and disclose information that results from your use of our Service. We use your data to provide and improve the Service. By using Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
On May 25, 2018, the European Union’s (EU) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR or Regulation) goes into effect. The GDPR is a significant change for global data privacy law and introduces rules for organizations involved in the collection and processing of personal data of individuals located in the EU.
This replaces the European directive [95/46/EC] which was implemented in the UK by the data protection act 1998. The GDPR will be directly applicable to the UK and member states retain the ability to introduce national level derogations where these are required for specific purpose. The British Standard supersedes BS 10012:2009, and its requirements have been revised to be in line with the European Union General Data Protection Regulation 679/2016 (GDPR).
