The GDPR, how was it again?

With a lot of common sense, you can go a long way

Five years ago, in May 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation suddenly became a reality – large and small organizations had to make clear whether and if so, how they handle personal data of their employees and customers. Terms like privacy statement, special data, processing agreements made their entrance into conversations at the coffee machine or during meetings at various levels. Because it is not enough to simply inform your organizationAVG Proofto create awareness, you also need to make your colleagues aware of all rights and obligations regarding privacy in the organization and in private life.

5 years GDPR

The GDPR is celebrating its fifth anniversary. A suitable moment to draw attention to this again. GDPR is a Dutch translation of European legislation in this area, called General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and its agreements that companies and organizations operating in Europe must adhere to.

Luxury

European citizens’ privacy rights are well taken care of, a luxury that residents of countries outside Europe do not have. This luxury does, however, result in a lot of extra work. For volunteer organizations, it is a challenge to properly store and timely delete personal data of their volunteers and customers. Sometimes you may find yourself in situations where you still want to keep special data about someone, even though this is not allowed by the GDPR.
