General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR)

Updated legislation introduced in May 2018 and requires all businesses to protect and properly manage all customers’ privacy data – this includes Local Authorities.  The main changes under GDPR are:

  • GDPR give people more rights to know how their personal data is being used.
  • It gives them the right to be ‘forgotten’ and their personal data deleted if they wish.
  • It enables people to see what personal data is being held about them and to make sure their personal data is correct.
  • It gives increased importance for the protection of children
  • It creates increased importance for not allowing people without permission to see or use others’ personal data
  • If someone’s personal data has been used by people without permission, they have to be told what happened.
