How to handle personal data?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into force from 25 May 2018. It covers how organizations handle people’s personal data. If your organization holds the personal data of EU citizens you’re liable.

The GDPR requirements:

The GDPR covers how organizations collect, store and use ‘personally identifiable information’. It aims to give individuals greater control over how their personal data is collected, held and used, and by who. The regulation revolves around citizens’ consent. In broad terms it asks organisations to:

  • Lawfully, fairly and transparently process personal data 
  • Collect it for a specific, explicit and legitimate purpose 
  • Only collect the data that’s necessary to that purpose 
  • Take steps to ensure data is accurate and kept up to date 
  • Keep data in such a way that it can be identified and kept for no longer than necessary
  • Use appropriate technical or organisational measures to ensure the data’s security 
  • Be able to demonstrate compliance with the principles of the GDPR
