Personal Data Protection and GDPR
On the 21st May 2018, the Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council 2016/679 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (so-called GDPR) shall come into effect.
Although much remains the same, there is an increase in the demands made on the data controller, amongst whom is included, for example, every employer. GDPR therefore brings new rights to the subjects of personal data – natural persons and self-employed persons. At the same time, it also sets out significantly higher penalties for breach of these duties, up to the limit of 20 million, respectively 4% of the turnover of the entire group. Nevertheless, we believe that GDPR ought to be understood as evolution rather than revolution in personal data protection.
We have been dealing with the area of personal data protection for a long time, we are, amongst others, members of professional organizations in this area, such as the Society for Personal Data Protection. We therefore understand GDPR primarily as an opportunity to put to rights the area of personal data management, both in national corporations and in one-employee firms. We will be glad to assist you with this challenge. GDPR is the right opportunity for a complete audit of the firm in all areas of its activity, as where there are personal data (name, surname, address, telephone number…), there is GDPR.
In cooperation with an external partner we shall undertake at the same time a technical and a data audit, indicate the areas at risk, find avenues of appropriate solutions including changes to internal processes, prepare the appropriate documentation, changes to software solutions, or offer You the services of Data Protection Officer (so-called DPO).
