GDPR
On the 25th of may of this year, new European privacy regulation (GDPR) will take effect. At the beginning of this year, it is time your organization assesses whether it is sufficiently prepared and understand the consequences of non-compliance.
What is going on
Two days ago the Dutch ministry of justice has released a manual for the application of the GDPR (in dutch AVG). For most organization the implications of this new privacy legislation has been vague at best. While this manual provides somewhat clear instruction for the lawyers and the Data Protection Offices within your organization, it can be complex to envision what the practical consequences for your organization are.
What does it mean?
From a practical point of view it is essential to create and maintain some procedures that ensure
that you have consent for the data you p(r)ocess.
There are however some tips and tricks
you can implement to make sure you work your way towards compliance.
Are you prepared?
- Are you ready to deal with end user requests to be forgotten?
- How do you relay these requests to third party applications your organization uses?
- Do you know what personal data you process?
- Do you have consent for the data you process?
- What procedure do you follow in case of a data-breach?
- Do you know who has access to personal data in your organization?
