Understanding GDPR Legislation

Many of our members attended a GDPR event with Steve Howard – Business Doctor, Lakes and Dales today. The event was to help us understand the new General Data Protection Regulation legislation (GDPR) and how it is going to affect our businesses.

EU GDPR law will come into force on 25th May 2018. The new law marks a wide-reaching and significant shift in the way that organisations must protect personal data. Heavy fines could be enforced for non-compliance and tighter regulations on keeping and using data will be required by all.
