Data Protection
Data protection relates to how personal and sensitive data is collected, used and stored by all organisations.

Understanding the GDPR
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) sets out key principles for handling personal data and protecting individuals' rights.
Personal Data Breaches
Personal data breaches can occur through hacking, human error or unauthorised access, leading to serious legal and reputational consequences.
Data Protection Impact Assessments
Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) are used to evaluate our data processing activities and mitigate risks to individuals.
Controllers and Processors
The differences between data controllers and data processors are crucial to understanding data protection obligations.

GDPR and Consent
Consent is one of the six lawful bases for processing personal data under the GDPR, requiring individuals to give clear, informed and voluntary agreement.
GDPR Lawful Bases for Processing
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requires organisations to have a lawful basis for processing personal data, chosen from six legal grounds.
GDPR Legitimate Interests
Legitimate interests is a flexible lawful basis for processing personal data, but it requires balancing business needs with individuals' rights.

The international transfer of personal data is restricted to ensure individuals' privacy rights are protected when data is sent abroad.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) grants individuals eight specific rights over their personal data, ensuring transparency and control.
GDPR Subject Access Requests
Individuals have the right to access their personal data and organisations must respond to subject access requests (SARs) within legal timeframes.
Legitimate Interest Assessments
When relying on legitimate interests as a legal basis for processing personal data, you are taking on additional responsibility for protecting people's rights and interests.
