What is the significance of the GDPR for companies?

Companies processing personal data now have several obligations which, prior to the coming into force of the GDPR, they did not have. These obligations include, amongst other things:

  • displaying certain information about the personal data they gather and/or store;
  • providing data subjects with specific information in relation to how their personal data is used and what rights they have in this regard;
  • appointing a Data Protection Officer (“DPO”), where the law states that this is required;
  • ensuring that the processing operations they carried out meet certain industry security standards.

It is crucial to note that European companies must implement these regulations regardless of whether their clients are locals or foreigners. Our data protection specialists will advise the company and its representatives of the measures which are needed to ensure that all processing operations are compliant with the GDPR and any other local legislation.
