The importance of GDPR and data protection
GDPR was developed to “harmonise” laws surrounding data protection and privacy laws across all participating countries – providing improved security and personal rights for individuals. GDPR has changed how businesses process and store information, and if you do not adhere to these rules, you can receive a hefty fine on top of reputational damage.
With data protection and GDPR laws in place, companies and individuals must minimise and limit data, show data transparency, ensure data confidentiality, and take accountability for everything to do with the data. Having these laws in place means that your data becomes safer and not exposed to third-party companies.
Our Data Protection and GDPR course details how vital the legislation is, what it means for companies collecting data, and your data rights.
