As a result of being part of the EU for a long time and then leaving it, the UK has a patchwork approach to data protection. There’s the UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018, the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003, a whole lot of amendments and significant levels of noise.
The purpose of this course is to explain calmly and simply: what is all this about?
You probably know that you start with the UK GDPR but why are there other parts?
Where does the DPA come in? What does it contain, and how do you know when you should be looking at it?
Why did the Government’s own webpage on data protection say that the DPA is the UK’s implementation of the GDPR until very recently? And how do you navigate your way through it?
And where does PECR and marketing come in?
On this practical and entertaining course, I will help you to put the pieces in the right place.
