Read this book to learn: How the GDPR differs from the 1995 EU Data Protection Directive (DPD). How the Regulation relates to your organisation and how to adjust your processes to comply with it. The best way of avoiding "effective, proportionate and dissuasive" fines. New for the second edition: Additional definitions and a new implementation FAQ. Further guidance on data protection impact assessments (DPIAs), subject access requests (SARs) and the role of the data protection officer (DPO). Clarification of consent and the alternative lawful bases for processing personal data.
