Consumers Learning to Ask Questions about Compliance.
The new data protection rules have created a number of extra rights for consumers.
Consequently, consumers have started to ask questions before they buy products and services to ensure they are in safe hands with the commercial suppliers they are spending their hard earned money with.
The Mission of Transition Law S.H.I.E.L.D is to raise awareness with both business owners and consumers regarding the data protection rules.
Ultimately, we believe, this will lead to a greater understanding in the business community and better protection for consumers as there will be more compliant businesses to protect them.
