GDPR Compliance

What is the GDPR?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a European data protection law that took effect on 25 May 2018. It gives EU residents greater control over their personal information and harmonises data protection rules across the EU. Under the GDPR, organisations must process personal data fairly and lawfully, enable individuals to exercise their rights including access, rectification and deletion, and implement appropriate security measures. In the UK, equivalent requirements apply under the UK GDPR.

Who does the GDPR apply to?

The GDPR applies to:

  • Any organisation or person based in the EU, and
  • Any organisation outside the EU that processes the personal data of people in the EU.

Personal data means any information about a living person who can be identified, directly or indirectly. This includes obvious details like a name or email address, and indirect identifiers like an IP address.

Is Forminit GDPR-compliant?

Yes. Forminit is based in London (UK) and complies with the UK GDPR and the GDPR framework.

Here's what we do:
