Will the new EU European General Data Protection Regulation affect you?
The simple answer is – YES! At a recent webinar organized by Terrance Barkan, CAE from Globalstrat, delegates learned that indeed all associations having any kind of connection with Europe will be affected by this new regulation. Whether you are based in a European Union country, have members there, organize events in the EU region or allow access to anybody outside the EU to data held within the EU, everybody needs to be aware what to expect as of January 2017. Jonathan Armstrong and Andre Bywater of the legal compliance specialist firm Cordery in the UK have provided great insights into this topic and we would strongly advise you to listen to the webinar recording here. |
