THE GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION
At Ruokangas Guitars, we are committed to protecting the data and privacy of all our clients. We believe in open and transparent communication that puts the user needs and safety first.
GDPR came into force on May 25, 2018. We’ve kept our data safe before and we’ll keep it safe in the future – in that regard nothing has really changed. We did, however, go through our Privacy Policy and made sure it’s all GDPR compatible as part of our commitment to providing you with the best possible service. Our updated Privacy Policy will apply to all clients who continue to communicate and/or do business with Ruokangas Guitars after May 25, 2018.
