Course Overview

The General Data Protection Regulation

Over the years, the way companies and organisations collect, use, and maintain data has changed dramatically. For example, the electronic storage of data is a relatively new concept, and one that has not always been adequately addressed by existing legislation.

With these changes in mind, the European Union (EU) has created the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Experts believe that it is one of the most important pieces of data protection legislation drafted within the last 20 years. It is important that everyone involved in the collection, storage, and processing of personal data be aware of the GDPR and its implications. This course is an introduction to the scope and purpose of the GDPR.

You Will Learn:

  • What the GDPR is, why it was introduced, when it came into effect, its relationship to previous legislation, and who must comply with the new rules.
  • The principles underlying the GDPR, the bases on which an organisation is permitted to collect and process data, and how the GDPR makes provision for the handling of highly sensitive personal information.
  • The rights granted to individuals under the GDPR, and what this means for organisations who collect and process data.
