GDPR, Tibbetts and You

What is GDPR?

GDPR, General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) is a new regulation in EU law focused on data protection and privacy for all individuals within the European Union.

It will apply in all EU member states from 25 May 2018, including the UK, where it will automatically be incorporated into UK legislation.

What does GDPR mean for Tibbetts and our partners?

Tibbetts Group holds data from its business partners for a variety of reasons; this can be because you are an existing partner with whom we trade or as a point of contact for the arrangement of collections or deliveries.  Occasionally we may be required to share your personal data with third parties, such as other Tibbett’s offices to enable them to perform contracted duties on your behalf as our partner.

Under the new GDPR regulation, Tibbetts Group must….

Be transparent and concise regarding all personal data held within our systems when requested to do so.

Be able to provide access to data demonstrating exactly what is held, why it is used and where it is stored.

Obtain your agreement to opt in to any communications which we distribute, either for the purposes of doing business or as part of a marketing campaign.

Obtain your agreement to Tibbetts holding your personally identifiable information (PII), unless the information we hold relating to your company and its employees is for business purposes only under GDPR Regulations (EU) 2016/679: Art. 6.1(b) & Art. 6.1(f)
