On May 25, 2018, the European Union (the “EU”) implemented a new data privacy and protection regulation, called the General Data Protection Regulation and the United Kingdom (the “UK”) post Brexit implemented the UK General Data Protection Regulations (collectively referred to as the “GDPR”). This regulation aims to standardize data protection laws across the EU and the UK and lay down standards to be observed worldwide while processing of personal data originating in the EU and the UK. The GDPR also has a strong emphasis on affording individuals stronger, more consistent rights to access and control their personal information.

At Olvy Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”, “Olvy”), we take compliance of data privacy and security regulations very seriously. For the GDPR, we are working diligently to ensure that we are compliant with the rules laid out by the law. In the following sections, we have outlined our approach to comply with the GDPR.
