Protecting your data – it’s time to
get personal
Personal
data is everywhere. Each time you do
something online – whether you’re shopping, browsing, using an app, watching a
video or posting on social media – you generate data: information about
yourself, your activities and your preferences.
Organisations like MBE have collected, processed and stored your
data in order to understand more about you so that they can tailor their
products to you and others like you; provide you with a better, more
personalised service that’s suited to your needs, and communicate with you.
The
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which comes into force on 25th
May 2018, is designed to ensure that all companies review how they manage
people’s personal data.
At Mail
Boxes Etc., we take data privacy very seriously and you can see our privacy
policy here.
You can also view
the data we hold for you and update your preferences anytime, by logging into
your account here.
Why GDPR is good news for you
Our policies comply with GDPR regulations giving
you:
-
Greater protection
for your personal data. Organisations must protect any data they hold and must
act appropriately if anything goes wrong. If not, there are heavy financial
penalties.
- Full control over
how your information is used. You can choose what information is held about
you, and where it is stored.
- More choice.
Organisations must give you the chance to choose who contacts you and how.
- Flexibility. If
you’ve given an organisation permission to contact you, then you can change
your mind at any point.
