Course overview

The new EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came fully into effect in May 2019 bringing significant change to data protection law in Ireland.

This course is a step-by-step guide to GDPR and will help you understand what you should be doing now to make sure you are fully compliant. The course will explain the new rules regarding the legal basis for processing, consent, privacy notices, control of personal data, mandatory breach reporting, complaints, the appointment of DPOs and penalties.
