GDPR and how Jovian Manages your Information
On the 25th May 2018 the General Data Protection Regulation (‘the GDPR’) becomes enforceable.
The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) replaces the 1995 Data Protection Directive. The GDPR applies across the European Union (EU) and aims to give individuals more rights to control how their personal information is collected and processed. It also places a range of new obligations on organisations to be more accountable for data protection.
Please take a moment to review our Privacy Policy statement and if you have any questions please contact us by using the details provided.

This information will need to be used if you want to delete a service on enquire about any data held against one of the services that we provide to you.
You can at any time request that your personal data is deleted. This may require your account to be closed if the personal data earmarked for deletion is required for the operation of your service. Verification will be needed with any request for deletion of data.

We will keep your personal information only for as long as your services are active with us or for as long as is needed for us to comply with our legal obligations (in Ireland).
Login information to websites or client third party applications will be stored in a secure fashion for as long as may be needed to be able to support queries from the client.
Your personal data will be deleted as soon as the purpose for which it was collected is complete or there is no further legal or financial obligation to retain the information.
