The General Data Protection Regulation EU 2016/679 (“GDPR”) is effective from 25th May 2018 across the European Union. Its purpose is to protect the privacy and rights of individuals (e.g. living persons) and ensure that personal data is not processed without their knowledge and where necessary that it is processed with their consent. The GDPR has been designed to meet the requirements of the digital age and allow individuals access and control over their personal information.

How we use personal data
CTG will collect personal data relating to employees of our customers, suppliers or partners and it will only be processed for the purpose in which it was collected e.g. supply of goods, provision of quotation or service.
