Privacy Policy
Passed in 2016, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the most significant legislative change in European data protection laws since the EU Data Protection Directive (Directive 95/46/EC), introduced in 1995. The GDPR, which came into force on May 25, 2018, seeks to strengthen the security and protection of personal data in the EU and serve as a single piece of legislation for all of the EU. It will replace the EU Data Protection Directive and all the local laws relating to it.
We support the GDPR and will seek to ensure all Caribbean Love services comply with its provisions. We may amend this privacy policy without notification, and if so, any revisions will be available through this website.
