GDPR

Why is GDPR so important?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provides all EU citizens with essential rights,
control of their personal data and transparency regarding how their data are used.

What needs to be considered?

The GDPR requires you to make key changes to be fully transparent with your users about the personal data you store and how you intend to use it. You also need to give them the control to update or remove their personal data.

Lawful practices

You must identify and document the lawful basis for processing personal data (formerly known as the "conditions for processing"). You must have a purpose for collecting specific data and be able to prove the reason for obtaining these data.

Affirmative action

Consent can not be inferred or ambiguous, instead it must now be confirmed by your user by way of affirmative action. This must be expressed openly, in language that is easy-to-understand and specific to the data being requested. Under the GDPR, users can (and have the right to) consent to one action and refuse it for another. You must document and be able to prove how consent was provided by the individual.

Individual rights

Under the GDPR, everyone has the right to the protection of their personal data. This includes, but is not limited to, the right to be informed, to have access, to rectification, to be forgotten, to restrict processing, to portability, to object and to automated decision making/profiling.

So, what might you need to consider?

GDPR aims to remove absurd Privacy Policies and Terms & Conditions pages, forcing organisations to explain what users can expect and what will happen with their data. Since the GDPR demands clarity and disclosure when obtaining personal data, the ways in which you collect these data has changed.

Here are a few examples of best practices for websites, showing what you can and cannot do under the new GDPR regulations.
