EU Laws

The Humanius Group complies with relevant laws in the EU. The applicable laws can be found here:

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the primary EU law governing data protection. It mandates clear consent, data security, and transparency in how personal data is collected, used, and stored. GDPR grants users rights such as access to their data, correction, and deletion requests. The full regulation can be accessed at https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32016R0679.

The ePrivacy Directive, known as the Cookie Law, complements GDPR by focusing on electronic privacy. It requires websites to inform users about cookies and obtain explicit consent before using non-essential cookies. It can be reviewed at https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32002L0058.

The EU Directive on Consumer Rights protects consumers by ensuring they receive transparent information about terms and conditions, including cancellation and refund policies. It is essential for websites to clearly communicate these terms to users to comply with EU consumer rights standards. For more details, visit https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32011L0083.

The Network and Information Systems (NIS) Directive enforces strict security requirements for digital service providers. It is designed to strengthen cybersecurity across the EU, requiring prompt data breach notifications and strong risk management. This directive is especially relevant for the Data Breach Notification Policy. Access it here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32016L1148.

Although the Data Retention Directive was repealed in 2014, several EU member states have since introduced national laws specifying conditions for data retention. Compliance with these laws is essential to ensure proper data storage durations.

Lastly, the Consumer Protection Cooperation (CPC) Regulation aims to uphold consumer rights across borders. Websites need clear terms of use to protect consumers, as outlined by the CPC Regulation. This law enforces consistent treatment of consumer complaints and transparency. You can review the regulation at https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32017R2394.
