GDPR – Privacy and Cookies Policy
About
You might have been hearing lately about the GDPR, which stands for General Data Protection Regulation. This is a policy for the European Union, but impacts all websites worldwide since anyone including people from the EU can access the Creative Faith website. I am working on getting all the pieces together for this, and decided to post them in the blog for the time being.
