Personal data is defined as any data that can be used to identify a living person, directly or indirectly.

It includes things such as a name, photo, email address, personal bank or medical details, or a computer IP address.

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) replaces the Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC. It was designed designed to harmonize data privacy laws across Europe and to protect EU citizens’ data privacy.
RDK Consulting will never sell or distribute or make public your personal information.

For the day-to-day running of the business it is necessary to collect certain user information. This website uses:
