The EU’s General Data Protection Regulation automatically comes into force on the 25th May 2018. On this date all businesses must comply with the new data protection rules that apply to the collection, storage, processing and use of personal data.

 

Rejuvenate Productions Ltd does not offer advice on GDPR and this statement must not be construed as advice.

 

Who does the GDPR apply to

Any business that offers goods or services to individuals within the EU and/or monitors the behaviour of data subjects in the EU must comply with the GDPR.

The GDPR applies to both data processors and data controllers, although they do have different obligations.

 

What is Personal Data

Personal data is defined under the GDPR as: “any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person; an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.“

Personal data therefore includes, but is not limited to: a name, email address, IP address, photos, location data, bank details, social networking posts, medical information, device IDs, genetic data and biometric data.

 

Consent

Where consent is relied upon as the basis for processing personal data, consent must be unambiguous when given. Businesses must be able to prove they obtained unambiguous consent to the collection, storage, processing and use of personal data (i.e. by data subjects actively clicking a consent box agreeing to the terms of a privacy policy or consent forms for photography and video use).

 

Data Subject Rights

Data subjects have the right to request: access to all personal data held on them, rectify inaccurate data, object to processing (for example: for marketing purposes), export of data and erasure of data. Appropriate processes and templates should be put in place to allow data subjects to exercise their data subject rights within the statutory time limit (of 1 month).

 

Data Breaches

There are new obligations to report a personal data breach to a data protection supervisory authority where the breach is likely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals, and in some circumstance to data subjects. A personal data breach is defined as “a breach of security leading to the destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to personal data” and includes paper data, not just electronic data. Breaches must be reported within 72 hours, providing the specific information set out in the GDPR.

 

Appointing a Data Protection Officer (“DPO”)

Most businesses with fewer than 250 employees will be exempt. However, if a core activity of a business involves large-scale monitoring or processing of sensitive personal data a DPO must be appointed.

 

Fines for Breaches of the GDPR

Businesses can be fined the higher of up to 4% of their global turnover or 20 million Euros for serious breaches of the GDPR, or 2% of global turnover or 10 million Euros for breaches that are administrative.

 

Preparing for Change

Businesses must know what personal data they hold, how it is collected, how it is stored and used and where and to whom it is being transferred. All such processes and information must be documented.

Businesses must implement technical and organisational measures that show they have considered and integrated data protection into their processing activities.

To achieve the above objectives, businesses should:

* audit their processing activities and security measures;

* have in place GDPR compliant privacy and security policies;

* review and amend existing contracts with customers, suppliers and subcontractors;

* create a written data processing agreement for use between data processors and data controllers.
