General Data Protection Regulations - May 2018

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will take effect in the UK from 25th May 2018.  It replaces the existing law on data protection and gives individuals more rights and protection regarding how their personal data is used by councils.  Local councils and parish meetings must comply with its requirements, just like any other organisation.

One of the main changes to note is that the GDPR places a much greater emphasis on transparency, openess and documents retained.
