Amicus Compliance Solutions Ltd & GDPR

Amicus Compliance Solutions Ltd are already Registered with Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO)

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force on Friday 25 May 2018. It has taken four years to develop and is the most important change in data privacy legislation in two decades.

GDPR is an EU-wide regulation that will replace the current data protection laws in the UK. It has been designed to provide greater protection for personal data in today’s digital world.

Brexit will not affect the commencement of the GDPR. The UK Government has made it clear that GDPR will become part of UK law from Friday 25 May, as it also applies to organisations who interact with citizens of other EU countries.

Amicus Compliance Solutions Ltd, as a data processor, will comply with its GDPR obligations and will work to ensure privacy and responsible use of data for all our stakeholders.
