IS YOUR BUSINESS GDPR-READY? GDPR IMPLEMENTATION DATE 25 MAY 2018




IS YOUR BUSINESS GDPR-READY? GDPR IMPLEMENTATION DATE 25 MAY 2018
With GDPR imminent, the chances are you’ve been bombarded with offers to get your business ready for the new data protection landscape. With so many GDPR compliance providers out there, it’s hard to choose the right adviser for your organisation.
Remember, GDPR compliance means different things to different companies. What type of personal data do you handle in the course of your work? Is there a legitimate interest in processing information?
Or a legal obligation to do so?
These are some of the issues you need to consider before developing new data protection policies.
PEACE OF MIND FROM PROFESSIONALS QUALIFIED TO ADVISE ON GDPR
Smart businesses understand that having a qualified legal team behind them is the best way to ensure they are doing what they need to. And instructing a specialist solicitor is not always the most expensive way of getting the best advice. Unqualified advisers may well offer low fees at the outset but price heavily later on as they get to grips with your particular requirements. At Big Data Law in London we don’t do this.
We offer legally robust guidance at realistic, competitive prices. Our services include bespoke compliance risk assessments and data sharing policies and procedures.
Whatever your challenges related to preparing for and adapting to changes that will come with the GDPR, GDPR SolicitorsUK can advise you.

GDPR – IT’S NOT ALL ABOUT CONSENT

Image
The General Data Protection Regulation comes into force tomorrow. Despite what you may have heard, GDPR is not only about getting consent to process the personal information of those people your company interacts with. In the last few days, as the implementation date approaches, you may have been forgiven for believing this to be the case. A degree of panic among businesses appears to have set in regarding the consent issue. Stories of unnecessary GDPR consent emails clogging up inboxes have been widely reported. And the Information Commissioner’s website that contains detailed  GDPR compliance guidance  has crashed . Whether this is due to the sheer volume of traffic following relentless media pressure is unclear. At Big Data Law we have been advising on and  writing about GDPR implementation  for some time. Granted, it represents a big change for businesses that handle personal data with heavy fines a possibility. But it’s important not to overreac...

HOW WILL GDPR AFFECT EMBASSIES AND CONSULATES

Image
With the GDPR coming into force in the UK on 25 May 2018 it is worth highlighting that the regulations have a broad territorial scope. For embassies and consulates in particular, non-compliance with GDPR could have  serious repercussions  not just for the organisation itself but also for the citizens and commercial enterprises that rely on embassy or consular services. WHERE DOES GDPR APPLY? EU EMBASSIES WITHIN THE EU AND ABROAD Article 3 of the GDPR deals with territorial scope. Where will the new rules apply? For a start the GDPR broadens the international reach of EU data protection rules. They will apply to: ·       The processing of personal data in the context of the activities of an establishment of a controller or a processor in the Union, regardless of whether the processing takes place in the Union or not. ·       The processing of personal data of data subjects who are in the Union by a control...

FACEBOOK, CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA AND THE IMPACT ON GDPR ENFORCEMENT

Image
Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg  has broken his silence to comment on the unfolding Cambridge Analytica data scandal. He has announced steps his organisation will take to deal with the fallout that has resulted from Cambridge Analytica’s acquisition of the personal data of up to 50 million Facebook users. As the hashtag #deleteFacebook gains momentum it remains to be seen whether Facebook’s actions will be enough to stem the slide in the company’s share price or to restore the credibility of the social media platform. But as we ready ourselves for GDPR, the Facebook/Cambridge Analytica debacle is sure to have repercussions for any company that holds personal data belonging to EU consumers. 3 REASONS WHY GDPR COMPLIANCE MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER We believe the Cambridge Analytica story makes GDPR compliance more critical than ever for three reasons: ·       The furore has propelled the subject of data protection to the forefront of the politic...
