Background

The Data Protection Act 1998 was created and enacted in a time where Smart Phones or Social Media did not exist; so, an update of these regulations was somewhat overdue.

The European Union has introduced the GDPR to update and harmonise Data Protection practices across the Union. It will apply to all European Economic Area countries and any individual or organisations trading with them. It comes into force on 25 May 2018 (before the UK leaves the EU), UK individuals and organisations must ensure compliance with the new regulations by this date.
