AJ BUSH & SONS AND THE GDRP
On the 25th May 2018 the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) went into effect within the European Union. The GDPR replaces the 1995 Data Protection Directive and is aimed to consolidate the various privacy laws across the member states. You can read more about the GDPR here https://www.eugdpr.org/
The GDPR introduces classification of Personal data which is described as;
- Anything that contains a person’s name, email, address, phone number etc which directly identifies that user; and
- Non-directly identifying information (Pseudonymous data) which does not allow for the identifying of a user but does allow for tracking of users interests. These identifiers consist of: Cookie IDs, Hashed email addresses, Mobile Advertising IDs and other identifiers that allow us to anonymously identify your browser.
The GDPR encourages the use of pseudonymous information as it reduces the risk associated with personal data and maintaining this data amongst various systems. By rendering data pseudonymous, data controllers (Publishers) can benefit from new, relaxed standards under the GDPR. For example, Article 6(4)(e) permits the processing of pseudonymised data for uses beyond the purpose for which the data was originally collected. When you browse our website, AJ Bush & Sons use pseudonymous identifiers to track browsing behaviour and shopping intent to show relevant advertising and use this approach in our targeting systems.
