Privacy & Cookie Policy

The Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA 2018) sets out the data protection framework in the UK and incorporates the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation, “GDPR”) into the national law. Its purpose is to protect the “rights and freedoms” of natural persons (living individuals), and to ensure that personal data is not processed without their knowledge, and, wherever possible, that it is processed with their consent.

Our company is part of the Tradmet Group (“Tradmet”) which includes Tradmet Limited and subsidiary Tradmet Hong Kong Limited.
