GDPR / Privacy Policy

 On 25 May 2018 the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) came into force in the UK. The GDPR is a regulation under EU law on data protection, which sets out a comprehensive framework relating to the processing (i.e. collection, use storage and disclosure) of personal data within the European Union. The regulation is intended to harmonise the EU’s policies on data protection; transform the way in which personal data is collected, shared and used globally, and strengthen the safety and security of the way in which personal data is stored within an organisation. The regulations are based on the idea that personal data is the fundamental right of individuals. With certain exceptions, the GDPR is applicable to the majority of data processing within the EU. Within the UK, the GDPR operates alongside the Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA 2018).

The GDPR is considered the most significant data protection legislation of the last 20 years. There is a vast amount of information about the regulations available online. The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) provides a good starting point with its Overview of GDPR.
