Data Protection Policy

This policy has been created to reflect best practice in data management, security and control and to ensure compliance with General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) 2018 and any subsequent changes or amendments.

Morgan Fire Protection Ltd needs to collect and use certain types of information about customers and other individuals who come into contact with the Morgan Fire Protection Ltd. This personal information must be dealt with properly however it is collected, recorded and used – whether on paper, in a computer, or recorded on other material – and there are new safeguards to ensure this in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2018.
