RULES FOR PROCESSING YOUR DATA IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE GDPR

On May 25, 2018, Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of April 27, 2016 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC, also known as “GDPR,” entered into force. It is published in the Official Journal of the European Union under the number L 119/2016.

According to the “GDPR,” personal data is information that enables the identification of a specific natural person – i.e. you. It’s not just an address or data such as a name and a surname. On the Internet, it is possible to identify you via e.g. your e-mail address, IP address or a series of traces (e.g. cookies) that can be uniquely associated with you.

Below, we present the most important information regarding the processing of your personal data through our website lawyerinthemedia.com

First, we inform you that we process your personal data.
