GDPR

What is the GDPR?

The General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR, deadline of 25th May 2018 addresses the way many businesses look at, collect, process and use any personal data in their business.

GDPR aims to further protect the privacy rights and interests of citizens and replaces all data protection laws for EU members, including the UK’s own Data Protection Act (2018).

It is to ensure that all countries that trade with or within the EU process personal data in the same way and have similar and fair penalties for breaches in data protection.

One of the main changes is around the different legal premise for which data can be processed. There are six in all but for the purposes of marketing we are concerned with either ‘Consent’ or ‘Legitimate Interest’.

Consent

If a business decides to use consent it would need to have opt-in permission from all contacts. There is a move away from ‘implied’ consent to ‘explicit/unambiguous’ consent. Pre ticked boxes will be replaced by the active ticking of an un-ticked box or a ‘clear affirmative action’. ‘The Companies’ already rely on this approach.

Legitimate Interest

A business can also use the legitimate interest precedent for their direct marketing particularly where they would like to contact employees of Public/Private limited companies or local authorities with a B2B communication. In this respect they would conduct their marketing on an unsubscribe/opt-out basis. ‘The Companies’ already rely on this approach

The Companies’ processes personal data in line with GDPR because we do the following:

1) We are clear why we need data at the point of collection

2) We always use clear and concise language appropriate for the customer

3) We give customers control over their data. You are always able to decide whether to share your personal data with us or not

4) Under the GDPR principle accountability, World Trading Partners and ‘The Companies’ are able to demonstrate that we are GDPR compliant.

5) We will suppress or eradicate your data if requested to do so.

6) You can opt-out from further marketing communication.
