What is GDPR?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into force on 25 May 2018. GDPR is a hugely important piece of legislation designed to replace outdated data protection rules with a new framework which accounts for recent technological advancements.
The GDPR was designed to increase legal certainty with regards to information flows both within the EU’s borders and beyond. It also introduces stronger consumer protections, with requirements for greater transparency and accountability about how data is used by businesses, not-for-profits and governments alike.
What does this mean for companies?
Fundamentally, GDPR is about protecting people: in this digital age, our world is awash with data and individuals are generating a continuous flow of personal information. This data can hold huge socio-economic value, from individual preference and personalisation, to understanding national health trends and global business insights.
GDPR will significantly raise the bar of obligation and accountability, ensuring that all organisations which handle personal data adhere to strict regulations around privacy, security and consent.
GDPR is clear that individuals have a series of rights when it comes to how their data is collected, stored, used and disposed of by organisations. Data management is paramount for any organisation getting ready for GDPR.
