The GDPR is a major overhaul of the current law under the existing Data Protection Directive (Directive 95/46/EC).

This regulation applies to my website carinlavery.com because I collect, record, store, use, or erase personal data from customers or contacts in the EU, as part of my website subscription service. 

As required by the EU GDPR regulation, I updated my Privacy Policy, this update includes:

-  Notifying customers that I use MailChimp to distribute communications about my artwork
-  A link to Mailchimp’s Privacy Policy here and Cookie Policy here
-  My signing Mailchimp’s updated ‘Data Processing Addendum (DPA).  This sets out my and Mailchimp’s obligations with respect to data protections and security when processing personal information.  You can see my signed document here.
