• Data Security: In accordance with the UK Data Protection Act and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), CHeKT follows security procedures in the storage and disclosure of information that you have given us to prevent unauthorized access.
• Necessary: CHeKT does not collect information unless it is needed for purposes of providing you with services for your account.  All data collected is covered in our privacy policy. Privacy Policy

CHeKT honors its users’ rights to data privacy and protection. We’ve demonstrated our commitment to this by consistently exceeding industry standards. We have no need to collect and process users’ personal information beyond what is required for the functioning of our products, and this will never change. We have a privacy-conscious culture here and GDPR is an opportunity for us to strengthen this even further.

GDPR is an EU-wide privacy and data protection law that regulates how EU residents’ data is protected by companies and enhances the control the EU residents have, over their personal data.

The GDPR is relevant to any globally operating company and not just the EU-based businesses and EU residents. Our customers’ data is important irrespective of where they are located, which is why we have implemented GDPR controls as our baseline standard for all our operations worldwide. GDPR has taken effect from 25th May 2018.

Any data that relates to an identifiable or identified individual. GDPR covers a broad spectrum of information that could be used on its own, or in combination with other pieces of information, to identify a person. Personal data extends beyond a person’s name or email address. Some examples include financial information, political opinions, genetic data, biometric data, IP addresses, physical address, sexual orientation, and ethnicity.
