Ronin Privacy Policy

Ronin Limited are committed to protecting, respecting and safeguarding your data privacy rights.

This privacy policy together with our terms of use – https://ronin-ltd.com/terms-of-use/ – sets out how Ronin Limited processes and protects any personal data we collect from you, or that you provide to us.

Changes to Legislation:

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) is a new regulation which replaces the Data Protection Regulation (Directive 95/46/EC). The Regulation aims to harmonise data protection legislation across EU member states, enhancing privacy rights for individuals and providing a strict framework within which commercial organisations can legally operate.

Even though the UK has expressed its intention to leave the EU in March 2019, the GDPR will be applicable in the UK from 25th May 2018. The Government intends for the GDPR to continue in UK law post Brexit and has also introduced a Data Protection Bill to replace the current Data Protection Act in due course.
