On May 25, 2018, a new EU privacy regulation will come into effect called the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It imposes tougher obligations on businesses with regards to how they collect, store and manage personal data of EU citizens, regardless of whether the data processing takes place in the EU or not. It will apply to us both before and after the UK leaves the EU.
Every company or organisation who stores personally identifiable of any EU citizen is required to conform to GDPR. Personally identifiable information can be a name, email, address, date of birth, personal interests, unique identifiers, digital footprints and more. The owners of the data are classified as Data Controllers and those who process other organisations’ data are Data Processors. Both Data Controllers and Processors are covered by the GDPR.
As one of our customers, you are the Data Controller for the data contained in your management systems. We act, under a contractual arrangement, as Data Processors for you. In almost all cases we are moving data around within your own systems. The only personal data we hold from our customers is that required for contractual reasons, billing, support and sales, i.e. the relevant contacts in the organisation.
