• What is GDPR

   

  General Data Protection Regulation

  Data protection rules across Europe are about to see their biggest overhaul in 20 years. A lot has changed since the existing data protection laws and regulations were created in the 1990s. As a society, we’re creating vast amounts of digital information each day and the laws that govern our personal info are no longer fit for purpose.

  The result is the mutually agreed European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), it will change how businesses, public sector organisations and schools can handle the information of their customers or in schools its parents, students and staff.
