Quinyx has always made information security and privacy a top priority. We comply with the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) giving you control of your personal data.
The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is a new EU Regulation which will replace the 1995 EU Data Protection Directive (DPD). It is a law on data protection and privacy for all individuals within the European Union (EU). The GDPR aims primarily to give control back to individuals over their personal data and to simplify the regulatory environment. Being a regulation, not a directive, it forces all countries within EU to implement GDPR by May 25, 2018.
The regulation builds on many of the requirements from the 1995 directive for data privacy and security, but includes new provisions to strengthen the rights of data subjects, the individuals whose personal data is processed, and it adds harsher penalties for companies and organizations that fail to comply with the regulation.
Quinyx has its main establishment in Sweden and our lead supervisory authority is Datainspektionen. (https://www.datainspektionen.se/)
You can learn more about the GDPR at EUs GDPR Portal.(https://www.eugdpr.org/)
