General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

A2Z Herts Cars Rickmansworth

About the GDPR

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a European law designed to protect the privacy and personal data of individuals within the European Union. It strengthens data rights for individuals and outlines strict rules for how organizations must collect, store, and process personal information.

The GDPR came into effect on May 25, 2018, replacing the 1995 EU Data Protection Directive. It applies to any organization that handles personal data belonging to EU citizens and imposes significant penalties—up to €20 million or 4% of global annual turnover—for serious violations.

How GDPR Affects You as an A2Z Herts Cars Rickmansworth Customer

When you use the services of A2Z Herts Cars Rickmansworth, we may collect and store personal data such as your name, contact information, and journey details. This data is used only to manage bookings, provide accurate travel information, and deliver safe, efficient transportation.

In this context, A2Z Herts Cars Rickmansworth acts as both a data controller and a data processor, while you—as our customer—are a data subject.
If you book a journey on behalf of another person, you may also be considered a data controller, which comes with your own GDPR responsibilities.

Your Responsibilities When Booking for Others

If you handle someone else’s personal data (for example, booking a taxi for a family member or colleague), you must ensure compliance with GDPR. The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) recommends the following best practices:

• Awareness: Ensure you understand GDPR principles.

• Data Mapping: Know what personal data you’re sharing and why.

• Consent: Obtain permission before sharing others’ personal data.

• Rights: Be aware of individuals’ rights, such as data access and deletion.

• Security: Handle and store data safely to avoid unauthorized access.
