Data Protection Defined

The responsibility of the organization is to maintain the privacy and safety of the customer’s personal details.

For those organizations that manage the content and the value of the personal details, Cash Direct is the Data Controller. Cash Direct hired a Data Protection Officer (DPO) whose duty is to protect the rights of carrying out the businesses and assuring compliance with Data Protection regulations and laws.

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) terms were introduced on 25th May 2018. Its aim lies in setting the new regulations for the processing and usage of the data. GDPR, therefore, strengthens and regulates the laws of data protection for every EU citizen.

All these regulations are for the organizations that handle and process the overall data with an account to an individual or group of individuals. All the employees, even the agents, contractors, consultants and the third parties with access to the personal data must abide by this in a direct or indirect manner.
