Privacy Policy
Our Commitment to GDPR

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.
