GDPR and Privacy Policy

Heliospectraโ€™s Commitment To Data Integrity

On May 25, 2018, the new European Data Protection Regulation came into effect and influenced how companies collect and use personal information for all EU citizens. Heliospectra welcomes this change and commits us to protect personal information used in our daily business, and to ensure that we and our customers comply with our obligations regarding this data.

What is GDPR?

GDPR harmonises and modernizes data protection requirements in all EU countries and is designed to improve the way organizations handle personal and sensitive information. The aim of the regulation is to secure the rights of EU citizens.

Although many new and changed requirements exist, the same basic principles apply as before. New rules have broadened the definition of personal information and also broadened the scope to apply to all companies, including those operating outside the EU, but who handle the information of EU citizens. Our position, obligations and responsibilities are described in our Privacy Statement and Policy, available on this website.
