The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) the most important change in data privacy regulation in 20 years – it is going to take time to prepare and you are better off starting early, and we can help you. Call Tracey Dickens on 01206 217326.
GDPR came into force on 25 May 2018, and while many of the principles in the new legislation are similar to those in the current Data Protection Act, failure to comply means organisations will face heavy fines.
The aim of the GDPR is to protect all EU citizens from privacy and data breaches, in an increasingly data-driven world that is vastly different from 1995, when the EU previous directive was established.
The GDPR extends the data rights of individuals, and requires organisations to develop clear policies and procedures to protect personal data, and adopt appropriate technical and organisational measures and be able to demonstrate compliance.
Our data protection specialist, Tracey Dickens, says: “GDPR will affect all businesses in all areas. It affects data collected about a business: its employees, customers, and prospects. It affects marketing and day to day interaction. It’s about how data is managed and processed. Businesses need to understand the key changes and how to prepare for them and understand the risks of failing to do so.”
You can contact Tracey and her team on 01206 217326.
