At Boomerangs, we’re committed to providing our clients with a platform that not only drives value but also ensures the highest standards of data privacy and security. We’re proud to announce that Boomerangs is now fully compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

What is GDPR, and Why is it Important?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive data protection law enacted by the European Union (EU) to give individuals greater control over their personal data. It sets strict guidelines on how organizations collect, store, and process personal information. Compliance with GDPR is crucial for organizations operating in or dealing with clients from the EU, as it safeguards user privacy and enforces transparency in data handling.
