OKTOPUSTECH are proud to provide services that are easy to understand, and we strive for the same level of clarity in the policies that govern our service. As you may know, the European Union will begin enforcing new data protection legislation next month called the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It’s a huge step forward in holding service providers like ourselves accountable for how they store and use your personal data in the European Union, and we’ve taken this opportunity to review our practices for everyone. Most of our policies are already aligned with the GDPR’s requirements, but we did need to make a few changes to our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
