GDPR Legislation comes into force
22nd May 2018
From the 25th May 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation law takes effect. You’ve probably seen GDPR everywhere recently and that’s because it is a regulation in European Union law on data protection for every individual within the EU.
We know you may have a few questions about it and might want to know whether or not you need to prepare for it. We’ve put together what we know and will explain how it affects everyone who is registered with Advance TRS.
GDPR regulates the way personal data is treated or used within any organization who is subject to this information. Personal data is anything that can identify a person. You need to comply with the GDPR law if your company or organization has collected, stored, transmitted or even erased personal data. The old GDPR law will be replaced on the 25th May with the new one and there are some changes that have been introduced that everyone needs to be aware of.
What is Advance TRS doing to prepare?
