Privacy Policy
Tascomp Policy – Privacy

The latest data protection law, GDPR required us to review the data we gather, hold and use. This privacy policy explains the outcome of that review and our compliance with the legislation. As Tascomp business requirements change over time this policy will be revised as required.
