The European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) takes effect from May 25, 2018. GDPR regulates the governance of personal data for EU citizens with an emphasis on data security and privacy. The GDPR does not only apply to companies that operate in the EU. This regulation will also impact companies operating outside of the EU if they have any EU customers or personal data of anyone in the EU.

The GDPR imposes additional requirements upon companies to strengthen the security around, and enhance the protection of, personal data of EU residents.

Digital Dru, as a Multimedia company, has made information security and data privacy foundational principles of every step we take, long before GDPR was ever introduced.

We recognise the importance of passing regulations to advance information security and data privacy for citizens of the EU, and all citizens, regardless of their location.

We are firmly committed to GDPR compliance.

Our main services include, but are not limited to:

One such important case is where you may request from us a copy of the information about the data we store. We are obliged to ensure that the request is legitimate and does in-fact originate from you.

In this regard, we will undertake steps in an attempt to verify the legitimacy of the request, before releasing such information. If you do not cooperate in this, or we cannot satisfiably verify legitimacy, we may not release such information in a timely manner. To act otherwise could represent a significant breach of privacy.

We'll do this where it is necessary or is based on your explicit consent.

Data Retention Period is the period for which the personal data will be stored, or if that is not possible, the criteria used to determine that period. Unless we explain otherwise to you, we'll hold your personal information based on the following criteria:

• for as long as we have reasonable business needs, such as managing our relationship with you and managing our operations
• for as long as we provide services to you
• retention periods in line with legal and regulatory requirements or guidance

If none of these criteria apply, we commit to purging any Personal Data no later than 16 months following your latest interaction/exchange with our services.

We are required by law to be able to report sales and tax information for up to 7 years. In this case we must retain any pertinent information of these transaction. We will have no choice to but to refuse any requests to erase this type of information from our records as they are required by law.
