What is The GDPR?
The General Data Protection Regulation or GDPR is the new law on how organisations can use personal data.
What will the new General Data Protection Regulation mean for you and your organisation?
If you hold information which falls within the scope of the Data Protection Act 1998, it will also fall within the scope of GDPR. The GDPR principles are similar to the DPA, but there is a new accountability requirement – you will have to demonstrate how you comply.
The new regulation comes into force on 25th May 2018
There is much you can do to prepare and we have created a new course with guidance to help.
