So, what is GDPR?

The General Data Protection Regulations – or GDPR – is new legislation (it comes into force on 25th May 2018) which governs how businesses can use people’s data. You’re going to hear about this a lot. Ignore it at your peril!

If your business sends email marketing campaigns, direct mail or makes sales calls, the law is changing what you are allowed to do. Some of the things you are doing at the moment will no longer be legal.

You might be thinking “So what? I’ll deal with it in May”. But, it really is important to start changing how you do things now. The word on the street is that this time they aren’t messing around, and businesses caught flouting the new legislation will be subject to some big fines.

We can help. There are some easy things you can do right now, which will help you avoid trouble later.
