What is EU GDPR?
There is a reason behind the flurry of emails you’ve undoubtedly received in recent weeks from companies and organisations highlighting changes to their privacy policy and asking you to ‘re-consent’ to their updates. It’s because of the EU’s new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which is coming into force on the 25th May 2018. After this date, companies that are required to comply must have put measures in place, or face hefty fines.
In the UK, your personal data is currently protected by the 1998 Data protection act (DPA), and the 2003 Privacy and Electronic Regulations (PECR). This means it’s 15 years since any law or regulations pertaining to how your personal data is collected, stored and used has been reviewed. A lot has changed in that period, and our data is collected, stored and used in ways that we couldn’t possibly have accounted for in the DPA or PECR.
We encourage individuals to read our privacy policy and understand how London Business School uses data to support individuals with their learning ambitions.
