GDPR Awareness

 

Introduction:

The GDPR Awareness course educates individuals and organizations about the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), a data privacy law in the European Union. It covers data protection, consent management, and lawful processing of personal data. Key concepts include data subjects' rights, data controllers' responsibilities, and data processors' compliance. The course also covers data security measures, breach notifications, and Privacy by Design and by Default principles. Through practical examples and case studies, participants learn to apply GDPR principles in real-world scenarios, fostering a privacy-conscious environment.

What is GDPR?

The GDPR created new rights, enhanced existing ones, and gave organisations new data management and protection requirements, ushering in a new era of privacy and data protection.
The new law gave users more control over their personal data and required firms to certify compliance.

Individuals’ Rights

In general, the GDPR's rights for persons are comparable to those outlined in the Data Protection Act. People have the following rights: to know how their personal data is being used; to access it; to have any errors corrected; to limit the uses of their personal data; to have their personal data erased (also known as "the right to be forgotten"); to file a complaint about it; and to have their personal data transferred.

Breaches

Companies and individuals whose personal data is compromised may pay enormous expenditures due to data security breaches.
If your organisation experiences a personal data breach, you must notify your DPO or regulatory authority within 72 hours to comply with the GDPR.
If the personal data breach could infringe the person's rights and freedoms, they may need to be notified.

Rewards

People will be more confident in your company and feel reassured that their data is handled and kept securely if it complies with the GDPR.
