GDPR - General Data Protection Regulation
On 25 May 2018, the General Data Protection
Regulation (GDPR), a new Europe-wide data protection regulation comes into
effect. This new regulation seeks to strengthen and unify data protection for
all individuals within the European Union and grants new and enhanced rights
for individuals in relation to their personal information.
What does GDPR mean for you?
Homecare Medical Supplies takes privacy and the protection of customer and staff data very seriously. We have always attached the highest priority to the security of our customers' information and will continue to do so going forward. We support the enhancements to data protection which GDPR will introduce and our company have been actively working to implement the changes required to be ready for this new regulation.
What are Homecare Medical Supplies
doing to prepare for GDPR?
We have developed a standalone Privacy Policy, which is available in two
separate formats, a long form and short form, to help provide an enhanced
understanding of our privacy policy.
The short form Privacy Policy,
which you can review on our website outlines a summary of what we do with the personal information of our customers
in order to run our business and provide our customers with products and services.
It also provides more information about your enhanced rights and how to
exercise them.

Homecare Medical Supplies Data Protection Officer by emailing dataprotection@homecaremedical.ie
