The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came in to force on 25th May 2018. It is an EU law that sets out guidelines for the collection and processing of personal information and aims to give individuals more rights over how their data is used.
The new regulations will apply to all types of organisations and although this change in legislation isn’t ‘aimed’ at voluntary groups and charities, it will affect them. It is something bands should be aware of and it may mean making some changes.
