General Data Protection Regulation Statement

Introduction

​

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) came into force across the European Union on 25th May 2018 and brought with it the most significant changes to data protection law in two decades. The GDPR has been designed to meet the requirements of the digital age.

The 21st Century brings with it broader use of technology, new definitions of what constitutes personal data, and a vast increase in cross-border processing. The new Regulation aims to standardise data protection laws and processing across the EU; affording individuals stronger, more consistent rights to access and control their personal information.

​

The Eight DPA Principles

There are eight principles of good information handling outlined in the act that state that data must be:

  • Fairly and lawfully processed

  • Processed for limited purposes

  • Adequate, relevant and not excessive

  • Accurate

  • Not kept for longer than is necessary

  • Processed in line with your rights

  • Secure

  • Not transferred to other countries without adequate protection
