Good introduction from LMA Recruitment on what GDPR is and how it will affect all organisations from May 2018.
What does GDPR mean for the recruitment industry?
"GDPR is being introduced in May 2018 to protect European Citizens’ personal data and will be compulsory for all organisations, even those outside the EU, who handle the personal data of any EU resident."
"The European Commission has said:
“Personal data is any information relating to an individual, whether it relates to his or her private, professional or public life. It can be anything from a name, a photo, an email address, bank details, posts on social networking websites, medical information, or a computer’s IP address.” "
"If you handle and store data about people, you are responsible for its safe keeping and security as well as ensuring the right people have access to it. You also need to apply the necessary control over how you share this information with others, as again you will be held responsible for how third parties use and protect the data."
