Data Protection

Data Protection | As of January 27th, 2021

1. GDPR – EU general data protection regulation

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), is an article of legislation passed by the EU. Should the UK exit the union the UK will still be subject to the provisions of the GDPR. The GDPR to a large extent supersedes the provision of the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA), by virtue of being more thorough and up to date in regard to the subject matter of the DPA and by being far reaching in that the DPA only covered personal information under restricted circumstances whereas the GDPR covers “ALL” personal information. This GDPR policy is specific to and limited to our website, and is therefore limited in it’s scope for our viewers ease of reference. Our business is committed to being GDPR compliant. Prior to the deadline for compliance with the GDPR, subjects may initiate a subject access request under either the DPA or under GDPR.

Previously to the implementation of the GDPR it was ‘normal’ practice of website operators to maintain a ‘privacy policy’. We believe a ‘privacy policy’ is now best placed within the context of our GDPR policy; We take the privacy of the site users very seriously. We ask that you read this entire policy (‘the GDPR Policy for our website’) carefully as it contains important information about how we will use your personal data. For the purposes of the Data protection Act 1998 and the GDPR, PULSAR Consulting Group GmbH and PULSAR Consulting GmbH Lawyer & Tax Consultancy (‘we’ or ‘us’) is the ‘data controller’ (i.e. the company who is responsible for, and controls the processing of, your personal data).
