GDPR

GDPR & Personal Privacy

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a privacy and data protection regulation in the European Union effective from May 25, 2018.

GDPR replaced the previous Personal Data Act (PuL). Personal data includes all data that can be directly or indirectly linked to a natural person.

Besides strengthening and standardizing user data privacy across the EU nations, it introduces new or additional obligations on all organizations that handle EU citizens’ personal data, regardless of where the organizations are located.

We protect your personal privacy and it is therefore important that you can feel safe when it comes to the handling of your personal data. We are open about how your personal data is handled and we follow current laws, rules and guidelines regarding data protection. You can also feel secure that we do not sell your personal information on to other companies.

The new rules mean that you as a registered person have a number of rights. Below you can read about how we process your personal data, what rights you have, who you can contact if you have questions, etc.

Personal Data shall be:

  • Processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner
  • Collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes
  • Adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed
  • Accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date
  • Stored for no longer than necessary for the purposes for which the Personal Data are collected
  • Processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the Personal Data, using appropriate technical or organisational measures


We respect our customers (Issuers), their customers (Recipients), and our employees rights to data privacy and protection, and as such we have updated applicable policies and procedures in order to meet the requirements of GDPR. We have established a number of measures to ensure that customers and their data are treated in a manner consistent with privacy principles and the new GDPR requirements.

TRUE is committed to compliance with the GDPR as both a processor and controller of Personal Data. We can provide a Data Processing Agreement for our customers, and we are also open to using Agreements supplied to us by potential customers, as long as they comply with all current GDPR rules and regulations.
