BecomeAnEX and the General Data Protection Regulation

BecomeAnEX is committed to helping tobacco users in the US achieve their vision of a tobacco-free future. In light of a new international data protection law enacted by the European Union (EU), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we are updating site accessibility for BecomeAnEX.

About GDPR

By now, you may have heard of the GDPR, a new EU data privacy law that goes into effect on May 25, 2018 and that may have widespread impact on businesses around the world. The regulation applies only to the treatment of personal data furnished to a business from data subjects who are situated in the EU. The GDPR imposes numerous requirements on those businesses that are obligated to comply with the regulation.

What Does GDPR Mean for You?
