IEB Software Limited is committed to protecting the rights and freedoms of data subjects, safely and securely processing their data in accordance with all our legal obligations.
This document summarises IEB’s privacy policy and responsibilities for both parties required by the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) that came into effect on Friday 25 May 2018. It covers the IEB Software Limited website, and all the products and services provided by IEB Software.
Our privacy commitment:
IEB Software Limited will never sell your information to someone else for advertising or make money by showing you other people’s ads. This has been our approach for almost 20 years, and we remain committed to it. This policy tells you what information we collect from you, what we do with it, who can access it, and what you can do about it.
IEB Software Limited only asks for the least amount of information necessary, gathering only what we believe is essential for doing business, or for the specific transaction at hand. We let customers know the information we have on them and allow them to opt out of specific engagements.
The goal of this policy is to make explicit the information we gather on our customers and users, how we will use it, and how we will not.
