ΠΕΡΙΓΡΑΦΗ

Business organisations, irrespective of their nature, collect, process and store personal data gathered from customers, suppliers and colleagues. In May 2018, a new European privacy regulation called General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was enforced and permanently changed the way businesses collect, store and use customer data.

The GDPR covers the portability of data from one firm to another and encourages businesses to set up processes and products in a safe and proportional way. It also enhances the rights of individuals by furthering the rights associated with individuals’ personal data.

Penalties for non-compliance can be severe including significant fines and reputational damages. Therefore, it is vital that all professionals are familiar with the “Brave New World” of the GDPR
