AJ BUSH & SONS AND THE GDRP
On the 25th May 2018 the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) went into effect
within the European Union. The GDPR replaces the 1995 Data Protection Directive and is
aimed to consolidate the various privacy laws across the member states. You can read more
about the GDPR here https://www.eugdpr.org/
The GDPR introduces classification of Personal data which is described as;
o Anything that contains a person’s name, email, address, phone number etc
which directly identifies that user; and
o Non-directly identifying information (Pseudonymous data) which does not
allow for the identifying of a user but does allow for tracking of users
interests. These identifiers consist of: Cookie IDs, Hashed email addresses,
Mobile Advertising IDs and other identifiers that allow us to anonymously
identify your browser.
The GDPR encourages the use of pseudonymous information as it reduces the risk
associated with personal data and maintaining this data amongst various systems. By
rendering data pseudonymous, data controllers (Publishers) can benefit from new, relaxed
standards under the GDPR. For example, Article 6(4)(e) permits the processing of
pseudonymised data for uses beyond the purpose for which the data was originally
collected. When you browse our website, AJ Bush & Sons use pseudonymous identifiers to
track browsing behaviour and shopping intent to show relevant advertising and use this
approach in our targeting systems.
