GDPR is coming, the steamroller is not stopping and that is a great analogy for how it feels for some, I would say.<\/p>\n
Its a huge change, a seismic shift in focusing on individual privacy to address the technology changes that have happened in the 20 years or so since the last iteration of the legislation.<\/p>\n
And its no surprise that MPs and others are surprised by it or flummoxed as to what to do. There is a lot to consider and the larger the business and scope of that business, the more things to be considered or managed.<\/p>\n
As an individual, however, its a great time. Concerned about recurrences of Cambridge Analytica or similar data slurping and sharing should disappear because if they can be fined \u20ac20m or 4% of turnover, whichever is the greater figure, if found in breach, that’s a huge incentive to work correctly.<\/p>\n
So, on one side, as an employee, its a lot to consider and act on, as an individual, I think its brilliant.<\/p>\n
Make sure your employer, whoever that may be, is prepared and ready to address privacy properly.<\/p>\n
