GDPR Compliance
Mediscript is committed to protecting the privacy rights of individuals in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Understanding GDPR
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive data protection law that came into effect on May 25, 2018. It applies to all organizations that process the personal data of individuals in the European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA), regardless of where the organization is located.
The GDPR strengthens the rights of individuals with regard to their personal data and aims to unify data protection laws across Europe. It imposes strict requirements on organizations that collect, store, and process personal data.
At Mediscript, we embrace the principles of the GDPR and are committed to ensuring that our platform and services comply with its requirements.
