At Computer Graphics Studio 27 Inc., we are dedicated to protecting the privacy and personal data of our customers. One of the key frameworks guiding our commitment is the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Below, we explain what GDPR is and how it impacts the way we handle your data.
What is GDPR?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a data protection law implemented by the European Union (EU) on May 25, 2018. It establishes strict guidelines for businesses and organizations worldwide on how to collect, store, and process personal data of individuals within the EU.
While it is an EU regulation, GDPR’s reach extends globally, as it applies to any organization, regardless of location, that processes the personal data of EU residents.
Key Principles of GDPR
GDPR is built on seven core principles that ensure personal data is handled responsibly:
- Lawfulness, Fairness, and Transparency: Data must be processed in a legal, fair, and transparent manner.
- Purpose Limitation: Personal data should only be collected for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes.
- Data Minimization: Collect only the data that is necessary for the intended purpose.
- Accuracy: Ensure that personal data is accurate and up to date.
- Storage Limitation: Do not store personal data longer than necessary.
- Integrity and Confidentiality: Protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, or damage.
- Accountability: Organizations must demonstrate compliance with these principles.
How Does GDPR Affect You?
GDPR gives individuals greater control over their personal data. Under GDPR, you have the right to:
- Access Your Data: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Rectify Your Data: Correct inaccuracies in your personal data.
- Request Deletion: Ask us to delete your personal data in certain circumstances (“Right to be Forgotten”).
- Restrict Processing: Limit how we use your data in specific scenarios.
- Data Portability: Obtain your personal data in a portable format to transfer to another service.
- Object to Processing: Opt-out of specific data processing activities, such as marketing.

- Ensure lawful processing of personal data by obtaining clear consent or relying on other legal bases.
- Maintain transparency by clearly informing you how and why your data is used.
- Use strong security measures to protect your data from breaches.
