London, UK – November 27, 2023 – Shufti, one of the leading IDV and KYC providers, shares a significant milestone with readers and the media. The platform has successfully attained a QG-GDPR certificate following a series of stringent assessments, validating Shufti’s robust policies and data security measures to protect user data and provide transparency in data collection.

The QG-GDPR is an extension of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) that applies specifically to organisations that process, store, or utilise customer data for operational purposes.

It validates our commitment and efforts in securing customers’ data and giving them 100% transparency of our data collection,” said Victor Fredung, CEO of Shufti.

Shufti obtained the certificate after having a comprehensive audit from a renowned auditing firm. The company took diligent steps to meet QG-GDPR guidelines and obligations.
