Data Protection for Marketing

3-hour course

Course overview

Marketing is an essential business activity, largely dependent on the collection of personal data belonging to customers and clients. In recent years, the rules protecting that data have been significantly enhanced and the penalties and costs for misapplying those rules can be severely damaging or even potentially ruinous.

This highly practical half-day course will explain how GDPR and PECR place limitations on how you can use personal information for marketing purposes. Our expert presenter will explain the steps you need to take and measures that must be put in place to ensure your marketing strategies are compliant with the law.

The course is illustrated with real-world cases and will provide opportunities to get answers to your own issues and questions.
