GDPR now applies

08/06/2020

GDPR The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will apply throughout the UK from 25th May 2018. But what does this mean for your business? The principles of GDPR are similar to those in the Data Protection Act, so for many businesses, if you are compliant with the current law then your approach won't necessarily change too much. However, the GDPR brings with it some enhancements and new elements that will need to be addressed. The Information Commissioners Office (ICO) is the regulator for data protection in the UK and their website holds an ever expanding library of guidance and toolkits to support businesses with GDPR compliance. If you feel like your business may be affected then the link below is definitely worth a look.
