General Data Protection Regulations
On 25th May 2018 the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into effect. It represents the biggest change in data protection laws for 20 years, bringing in a new set of rules laid down by the European Commission (EC), which govern the privacy and security of personal data, giving European citizens greater control over their personal data.
The EC defines ‘personal data' as any information that can be used to indirectly identify an individual. GDPR compliance places certain, essential requirements on organisations that collect personal data, such as names, phone numbers etc., during the course of their normal business activities:
- They need to obtain informed consent from an individual before collecting, storing, or using their personal data.
- The individual from whom data is collected has the right to withdraw consent and to be forgotten.
- The data that is collected must be minimized, accurate, and portable.
- There are specific obligations if stored data is ever breached.
