Privacy Notice

Last Updated on April, 2019

Lingerie Shop 22 – www.lingerie-shop22.co.uk is a service provided by Efficiency Solutions Limited.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) took effect on May 25, 2018.   GDPR has been designed to provide individuals with greater control over how their personal data is collected, stored, transferred, and used, while also simplifying the regulatory environment across the European Union (EU).   This new regulation impacts both organizations that conduct business in the EU, as well as businesses that maintain or process EU personal data.

The key GDPR principles which Efficiency Solutions Limited takes very seriously include:

  • Integrity: Securing and safeguarding personal data using appropriate technical and organizational security measures.
  • Lawfulness: Organizations must, among other things, ensure they have a legal basis for processing personal data, and process that data in a fair and transparent manner.
  • Limited Use: Personal data may only be collected for specific, explicit, or legitimate purposes.
  • Data Minimization: Only collect data that is relevant and necessary for its intended use.
  • Accuracy: Personal data must be accurate and up-to-date.
  • Storage Limitation: Subject to relevant exceptions, maintain personal data only for as long as is deemed necessary and reasonable.
