Giganews Updates Privacy Policy in Response to GDPR



You've probably received numerous correspondence this week in regards to Privacy Policy updates from numerous entities. Those updates were in response to GDPR, General Data Protection Regulation in the EU. GDPR is a regulation in EU law on data protection and privacy for all individuals in the European Union.

GDPR went into effect May 25, 2018.
