Introduction to GDPR Compliance
At Shiner Family Pharmacy, we acknowledge the importance of your privacy and the need for appropriate management of personal information that you share with us. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a set of regulations designed to protect the privacy and security of personal information for individuals within the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA). Although we are based in New Zealand, we are committed to providing a high standard of privacy and security to all our customers, including those within the EU and EEA. In this comprehensive overview, we outline the steps Shiner Family Pharmacy has taken to be GDPR compliant, ensuring that our customers' rights are at the forefront of our business operations. We will walk you through our privacy framework, data protection measures, rights of the individuals, and our protocols for data breach response.
