Legal Considerations
On May 25th, 2018 the EU General Data Protection Regulation, commonly known as GDPR, comes into effect replacing the Data Protection Act that has been in place since 1998. The GDPR is Europe’s new framework for data protection laws – it replaces the previous 1995 data protection directive, which current UK law is based upon.
In the full text of GDPR there are 99 articles setting out the rights of individuals and obligations placed on organisations covered by the regulation. These include allowing people to have easier access to the data companies hold about them, a new fines regime and a clear responsibility for organisations to obtain the consent of people they collect.
Under the terms of GDPR, employers may need to provide more information on data processes, such as how long personal data will be stored for, as well as be required by law to report any data breaches within 72 hours of occurrence.
The GDPR requires personal data to be processed in a manner that ensures its security.
This legislation will replace current data privacy law, giving more rights to you as an individual and more obligations to organisations holding your personal data.
One of the rights is a right to be informed, which means we have to give you even more information than we do now about the way in which we use, share and store your personal information.
