On the 25th of May, 2018, the European Union enacted its most stringent data protection laws in twenty years: GDPR, which stands for General Data Protection Regulation. These new laws carry stiff penalties for those companies who do not comply with them. System Verification is in compliance with these laws and here we outline in detail the extent of our compliance. Some of these might seem generic or self-evident, but we want you to know that System Verification takes your privacy seriously, and we are completely transparent about the integrity with which we handle your personal data when you interact with us.
In this data protection statement, we’ll go into detail in describing the way in which we handle your personal data and details in connection with the services that System Verification offers.
Please continue reading to find out how we use personal data, how it affects your privacy and how you can safeguard your rights.
System Verification collects data so that our services run efficiently and to give you the best possible experience. Some of this data we actually get directly from you. For example, when you register for a System Verification event, seek out a service or contact us for support.

These are not permitted to use your personal data for any other purpose.
