EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) legislation is a new law ensuring data protection and privacy for all individuals within the European Union (EU). The primary objective of the GDPR is to give citizens back control of their personal data.

At Alloy Software, we are strongly committed to the privacy and security of all our customers including those residing in the EU. This commitment translates into IT business solutions which come equipped with an array of robust measures geared towards protecting your valuable data against unauthorized access, while giving customers full control over data storage and process.

The GDPR grants people a range of specific data rights and complying with GDPR means enabling the exercise of these rights. The following sections explain how our solutions address each of the GDPR data subject rights.
