Getting Your Email Ready for GDPR

Unsure about whether GDPR applies to you?

It does not matter if it is pre- or post- Brexit or indeed if you are in Europe, APAC or USA. Any company holding identifiable information on a European citizen, no matter where it’s based, needs to be fully aware of the implications of GDPR.

The simple overview is that GDPR is being introduced to protect the privacy and security of all the data collected by companies (regardless of size) across the European Union, with fines of up to 4% of annual global turnover or €10 – €20 million (whichever is greater).

The Good news: You have until May 25th 2018 to comply with the legislation.

The Bad news: in reality that is not a long time – there is a lot to do and you really need to start preparations now!
