Preparing for GDPR<\/h3>\n

Behind the scenes, Pan European Networks Ltd has been busy preparing for the full implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for some time.<\/p>\n

As a publisher, we are taking significant measures to protect our clients and ourselves from breaching the regulation, and our data subjects from unwanted communications.<\/p>\n

Any contact we have with our data subjects going forward will contain a data protection notice around these regulations so we can maximise consents and continue to use and license data for multiple purposes after this deadline. We have multiple channels in which we can gain consent from subscribers, including telephone, mailing, email, online and events. These are the same channels that are available to clients wishing to access, communicate and network with professionals in line with data protection and individual channel preference post 25 May 2018. For more information regarding GDPR please see the following privacy notice.<\/p>\n
