What is GDPR? (General Data Protection Regulations)
- New, stricter data protection regulations from 25 May 2018
- Penalties of up to 2% of global turnover for non-compliance
- Do you process personal data - are you ICO registered?
- Is your Data Protection Policy up to date?
Overview. If your business handles any personal data (e.g. name, email, location, IP address, and online behaviour), then the new GDPR rules will apply. The new, stricter EU General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) come into force on 25th May 2018 – replacing the current Data Protection Act 1998. To understand how these changes will affect your business and to ensure data compliance, you need to act NOW.
The new GDPR rules will still apply to UK organisations irrespective of how Brexit negotiations conclude. Does your CCTV capture images of staff, customers or passers-by? If so you are collecting personal data and you should already be registered as a data controller with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
How we can help State 21 understands that small business cannot devote the time, resources, or afford to employ expensive consultants to assist, so we are running a series of local affordable workshops during which our highly skilled staff will:
- De-mystify GDPR and help you understand how it applies to your business, during an interactive and informative morning session. During the afternoon session, we will provide data protection policy templates, example privacy statements and data asset register.
- Unlike other providers, we will then help you tailor these templates to your business or help you adapt existing policies to meet new GDPR regulations.
- We will also provide guidance on the step(s) you need to take next.
- Inform you of the on-going support we, at State 21, can provide.
