Organisations established in the EU and processing personal data of EU-based individuals are, in almost all cases, required to comply with the GDPR from May 25 2018. The GDPR updated and harmonised the framework for processing personal data in the European Union, and brought with it new obligations for organisations and new rights for individuals. MediaBlanket has many years’ experience earning our users’ trust.
We are certified compliant with the most widely-accepted security and privacy standards and regulations, such as ISO 27001/2, ISO27018/17 and SOC 2.
What is the GDPR? The GDPR is a European Union regulation that established a new framework for handling and protecting the personal data of EU-based residents. It came into effect on May 25 2018.
MediaBlanket Ltd met the requirements of the GDPR prior to the rule change on 25 May 2018. How will MediaBlanket comply with the GDPR? Trust is the foundation of our relationships.

Information must be provided without delay and at the latest within one month of receipt.
MediaBlanket can extend the period of compliance by a further two months where requests are complex or numerous. If this is the case, we will inform the individual within one month of the receipt of the request and explain why the extension is necessary.
Where requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular because they are repetitive, we can:
We will verify the identity of the person making the request, using ‘reasonable means’.
