GDPR

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force on 25 May 2018, and it DOES affect your business.

It is a new European privacy law, a huge update to the 1998 Data Protection Act and will be adopted into UK law post-Brexit. GDPR is designed to give people more control over their personal data – defined as any information relating to an identifiable person such as names, dates of birth, email addresses and other contact details, purchase history, cookies, IP addresses and more.

Most processing of personal data by organisations must now comply with the Regulation. It is important to note, that the GDPR applies no matter where you are located if you offer goods and services to people in the European Union (EU), or collect and analyze data tied to EU residents.

The ICO’s 12 steps to prepare for GDPR is essential reading, and there is much more information on their website.
