<div dir="ltr">Hiya Nick,<div><br></div><div>Whats coming into effect from the 25th of May this year is the enforcement of GDPR (General Data Protection Regulations).</div><div><br></div><div>In essence, it regulates how we capture, store and use data that we collect on individuals (Business to Business is slightly different).</div><div><br></div><div>Basically, if we capture data from individuals, it has to be accurate, it has to be correct (eg only data you actually need), it has to be stored and used securely and correctly.</div><div><br></div><div>The big one that everyone is stressed out about is electronic mailing lists (Which actually comes more under PECR - a different set of regulations), for those people have to opt in and give consent to be emailed for marketing and promotional reasons. - thats why you are getting loads of messages asking you to reconsent for mailing lists.</div><div><br></div><div>Business to Business is slightly different.</div><div><br></div><div>I would recommend contacting your local CVS or community training organisation and see if they are doing GDPR training, I went one some recently and it was very useful.</div><div><br></div><div>I would also recommend looking at the NVCO materials <a href="https://www.ncvo.org.uk/practical-support/information/data-protection">https://www.ncvo.org.uk/practical-support/information/data-protection</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 4 May 2018 at 12:17, Canalside Community Radio Ltd <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:office@canalsideradio.net" target="_blank">office@canalsideradio.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-GB" link="#0563C1" vlink="#954F72"><div class="m_-2178695811383695933WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Dear All<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">I’m not sure if there has been a discussion on this or not because I may have dozed off and missed it, so forgive on that one …….
