We’re preparing for GDPR You may have heard or seen many references to GDPR over the last few weeks, and we can assure you that it won’t be slowing down any time before 25th May. You’re likely to have had a sea of emails from a range of companies asking you to re-subscribe or opt-in, and whilst this can be a pain and clutter your inbox short term, it’s actually going to benefit you in the long term.Let us explain – what exactly is GDPR?GDPR is, put simply, a significant update to the Data Protection Act. The digital landscape has moved on considerably since the Data Protection Act was introduced and the new GDPR regulation, which has been over 4 years in the making, is here to put you back in control of your data. The power is now yours. You control what data companies hold about you.You can dictate what they can and can’t do with that information. Simple.Good for you – good for usAs a business that relies heavily on technology and digital advances, GDPR is a good thing. We want to communicate with those who genuinely want to hear from us.
