General Data Protection Regulation (better known as GDPR) brings with it new rights for individuals and a new set of strict obligations for businesses, like Brother, that hold and process your personal data.

For Brother, acquiring and retaining the trust of our customers and business partners has always been a top priority. We welcome the positive changes that GDPR introduces.

These new European-wide laws grant individuals more control over how their personal data is stored and used.

Personal data has been collected by Brother by way of product registrations, online account details and other methods.

We use this data to help to continue to give you great customer service such as tailoring the information we send you to make it relevant and useful for your specific needs.

We always use this data fairly, appropriately and in line with our privacy policy.

Under the new guidelines, consent to collect and use this personal data must be specific, informed, unambiguous and freely given. Where customers have not given us their consent, we can not use their data for marketing purposes.

If we breach the rules, there are serious legal consequences for Brother.
