Course Overview
SUMMARY LESSON 1 – OVERVIEW:
- GDPR will replace the EU Data Protection Directive 1995 and the UK Data Protection Act 1998.
- As a regulation GDPR applies directly and should reduce the level of national data protection variation across member states of the EU.
- GDPR applies to organisations based in the EU and organisations based outside the EU if they process the personal data of EU residents.
- GDPR introduces much tougher financial penalties for non-compliance with data protection.
SUMMARY LESSON 2 – ROLES AND DATA:
- You must be familiar with the role you play so that you are aware of your responsibilities under GDPR.
- Personal data will include location data and online identifiers.
- If your primary basis for processing personal data is that you have consent, then this consent must be informed, specific and unambiguous.
- You must obtain an individual’s explicit consent if you wish to process special category data.
- GDPR highlights the importance of protecting childrens’ personal data used for online activities.
SUMMARY LESSON 3 – PRINCIPLES:
- GDPR principles determine how personal data should be processed.
- If you process personal data you must comply with these principles.
- GDPR includes a new accountability principle for data controllers and processors whereby they must be able to demonstrate their compliance.
- Privacy should be the default and incorporated into the design of systems.
SUMMARY LESSON 4 – INDIVIDUALS’ RIGHTS:
- Individuals have the right to obtain information from the data controller on how and where their data is being used and for what purpose.
- The data controller must provide this information free of charge and in a commonly used electronic format.
