GDPR Compliance

The GDPR, or General Data Privacy Regulation, comes into effect as of May 2018 and requires your organisation to create and maintain a plan to protect personal data that you collect, store and use, detail what to do in the event of a data breach, regularly evaluate your security practices, and document evidence of your compliance.

Who does GDPR apply to? Does GDPR apply to me?

The new GDPR regulations apply to all companies worldwide that process personal data of EU citizens.  You don't have to be based in the EU for this to apply, and Brexit isn't likely to have an impact.  If the UK wants to continue to trade with the EU, the UK Data Protection laws are likely to mirror GDPR post-Brexit.

Processing personal data includes:

• Past and present employee data or contractors, suppliers, consumers and customers.
• Payroll, and pension records as well as to sole traders and partnerships
• Any group that holds a list of members eg sports clubs, churches, societies
• Websites and apps that track digital activities by storing IP Addresses and/or cookies.
• Ecommerce websites that store customer details.
• Small business with fewer than 250 employees are not exempt if: “the processing it carries out is likely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of data subjects, the processing is not occasional, or the processing includes special categories of data […] or personal data relating to criminal convictions and offenses”.
