GDPR
The General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) were introduced in 2018 to give individuals more control over their personal data and to unify the EU regulations for international businesses transferring data outside the EU. Security of data is not only essential from a business integrity perspective but it is also a fundamental legal requirement.
Under the GDPR, the guiding principal is that the processing of personal data should be transparent and that it must also be lawful and fair. Organisations need to be aware that when they gather personal information that the individual has the right to know that their data is being collected, how it is being collected and told how it is processed. Individuals also have certain rights in relation to their personal data and they must be told how they can exercise these rights. This is why having a comprehensive and extensive data protection policy is a must for all organisations. Amorys Solicitors LLP can advise your business to ensure that your data protection policy, privacy statements, CCTV policy etc. are fit for purpose and are GDPR compliant.
Rights Of Data Subjects Under GDPR
Every individual has the right to the protection of their personal data. Article 8 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights states that;
- Everyone has the right to the protection of personal data concerning him or her.
- Such data must be processed fairly for specified purposes and on the basis of the consent of the person concerned or some other legitimate basis laid down by law. Everyone has the right of access to data which has been collected concerning him or her, and the right to have it rectified.
- Compliance with these rules shall be subject to control by an independent authority.
If you are an individual who has been affected by a data breach, Amorys Solicitors LLP can advise you on your legal rights under the data protection legislation.
