Privacy Statement
Overview
UltraServe updated its Privacy Policy, and its Privacy Statements in May 2018. This Privacy Statement is intended to set out how we handle your Personal Data. It is also intended to inform you of the choices and rights you have related to the way we collect and use information about you.
With the promulgation of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that came into effect on May 25, 2018, we have taken the opportunity to include improvements that address the new standards introduced by this European data protection law.
GDPR is a regulation in EU law on data protection and privacy for all individuals within the European Union, and for export of personal data outside the EU.
The improvements mainly include added transparency to our customers on our processes related to lawful and fair collection, processing, use, retention and deletion of Personal Data.
The following sections provide more details.
