As you may be aware, 25 May 2018 is a significant deadline for all businesses.
The General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) comes into force on that date which is designed to place more responsibility on the way every business collects, stores and processes personal data whilst giving more control and protection to individuals. It is essential that your business is prepared for this major change.
If your business is not compliant with the GDPR on or after 25 May 2018, it could face fines of up to 4% of prior year annual turnover or €20,000,000, whichever is higher.
We can help you to get your business ‘GDPR-ready’ by:
- carrying out a review of current processes and documentation (such as customer/supplier contracts and privacy policies) relating to personal data;
- providing information on the requirements imposed by the GDPR; and
- updating your existing documentation to ensure that it is GDPR compliant.
