Let’s Talk GDPR (Doncaster)

Date: Tuesday 22 May 2018
Time: 9:00am – 12:00pm
Venue: Doncaster Holiday Inn, DN4 9UX

GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) – the biggest overhaul of data protection law in a generation – comes into effect across the EU on 25 May 2018. The new law brings a series of challenges for wide-ranging businesses – and fines for non-compliance could be as much as €20,000,000 or 4% of annual turnover. Our masterclass looks at the key changes to the data protection law that will apply under the GDPR, and provides guidance on what organisations should do now in order to prepare. The masterclass will include a legal update from hlw Keeble Hawson solicitors, tips to get you well on the way to deciding what changes may need to be made to be compliant with GDPR, and a specialist update on cybersecurity.

This Masterclass will cover:

1. What personal data is
2. What individuals’ rights are in relation to their data
3. How to process data lawfully
4. How to keep proper records of your data processing
5. How to respond to a data breach
6. Potential cyber threats to data
