The GDPR, or General Data Protection Regulation, and nothing at all to do with the former German Democratic Republic, is the new regulations coming in to replace the Data Protection Act of 1998, bringing with it much firmer requirements for organisations to store data safely and appropriately, and harsher penalties for breaches. The GDPR will apply to all organisations holding data on EU citizens so it will apply to the university regardless of Brexit. It was actually a very useful session that has made me think about the types of thing I and my team store, and how most of it isn’t really necessary. I feel purge may be coming.
