GDPR

BREXIT UPDATE FROM THE ICO.

The UK government has incorporated it into UK law (the UK GDPR) alongside the Data Protection Act 2018.

If you are a UK business or organisation that already complies with the GDPR and you have no contacts in the EEA who send you data, and no customers in the EEA, you do not need to do much to comply now that the Brexit transition period has ended.

Modernist Fragrance Ltd. confirms it is in compliance with this advice to the best of its knowledge and the processes outlined below continue as before.

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is effective 25th May 2018 and applies to companies that process data about individuals in the context of selling goods or services to citizens in other EU countries.
