GDPR – what is it?

On May 25, 2018 the European Union (EU) next generation of data protection law, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is set to come into effect. GDPR will replace the 1995 European Union Data Protection Directive and aims to strengthen the security and protection of personal data. UK Chauffeurforce values data security and privacy and is preparing to meet this deadline.

Who is impacted by GDPR?

The GDPR applies to organisations headquartered within the EU and organisations headquartered outside the EU that offer goods and services to EU businesses.

This includes a company-wide initiative to ensure we are ready to satisfy our own GDPR requirements, as well as those of our clients and suppliers.

Brief highlights of what the initiative includes are set out below:

• Updated privacy policy in place
• Update of supplier terms and agreements to ensure any processors or sub-processors will be GDPR compliant
• Marketing exercise ensuring GDPR compliance for all customers and prospect data including the ability for contacts to action those rights incorporated in GDPR
• Employee training in GDPR
• Updated Data Protection Policy reflecting GDPR
• Creation of a data register, outlining personal data UK Chauffeurforce holds and where UK Chauffeurforce is confident in our ability to adjust to GDPR standards and to help our community of customers and suppliers to do the same.
