The EU recently approved the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and will begin strictly enforcing on May 25, 2018. This regulation will impact Toyboy Warehouse Customers and Subscribers, so we are currently auditing all of our processes to make sure we will be compliant on or before the deadline.
What is the GDPR?
From the official website:
“[The GDPR] was designed to harmonize data privacy laws across Europe, to protect and empower all EU citizens data privacy and to reshape the way organizations across the region approach data privacy.”
In short, it will streamline data privacy across the EU, and put in place new privacy protections for EU citizens.
We are already compliant in many areas:
- You may close your Toyboy Warehouse account at anytime, and request that we remove all of your information andassociated data . Including all messages, photos and interaction history with other members.

- A Data Protection Officer (“DPO”) has been appointed. (James Vardy, Director [email protected]).
