Protecting Your Data, Ensuring Your Privacy
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) becomes law on May 25th, 2018.
The GDPR was created to regulate how businesses use data, ensuring it's the same across the entire EU. Although it will apply to smaller businesses as well as large corporations, recent high-profile scandals have demonstrated how big organisations will have to comply to a single set of rules.
Financial Implications: The main implications of contravention of the GDPR for businesses could be significant financial penalties. Non-compliance can result in fines of up to €20 million or 4% of global annual turnover, whichever is higher.
The GDPR represents a major shift in how personal data is handled, bringing several important benefits:
Any business that processes an EU Data Subject's data, whether you are in the EU or outside of it, will be subject to the regulation and will have to abide by the rules it lays out for processing data.
Global Applicability: GDPR applies to all companies processing the personal data of individuals residing in the European Union, regardless of the company's location. This means businesses worldwide must comply if they handle EU citizens' data.
Prospect Precise ITES is concerned with the purposes of processing data and making it available to business customers for direct marketing and this is classified as 'Legitimate Interest'.
Prospect Precise ITES relies on the legitimate interest precedent as an appropriate legal basis under the applicable Data Protection Laws to provide Business Data to its customers.
B2B Direct Marketing Guidelines: Customers may use the business data for the sending of B2B direct marketing communications if they do so in line with the relevant laws. The initiator may conduct such marketing activity under an opt-out / unsubscribe basis, where employees of a public or corporate entity are contacted for the purposes of direct marketing.
