New Star Media GDPR Compliance (Email Update 1)

One of the biggest changes to UK data privacy law comes into effect on 25th May

The General Data Protection Regulation, known as GDPR is a fundamental change to how your customers personal data can be tracked, stored and used. This new regulation is designed to give people more control over their personal data and to be made aware of how and why their personal data is being used.

Is your business GDPR compliant?

All business’s in the UK and EU are required to be GDPR compliant by 25th May 2018 or risk heavy fines.

As your website provider we will work to ensure that your website is GDPR compliant by the required deadline. However, this does not extend further than your website and any data that we collect and manage for you.

It is your responsibility to ensure that your business (and your third-party service providers) is GDPR compliant in relation to any third-party data that you collect and use.

How does GDPR affect my website?

As an example, when a customer submits a vehicle enquiry form on your website, the following needs to happen:

• They must be made aware of what data is being collected
• They must be made aware of what the data will be used for
• They must give opt-in consent for their data to be stored
• They must be given 'The Right to Be Forgotten'

All of this means that they must easily be able to contact you and request that their personal data is removed from databases, email lists, call lists etc.

Also under GDPR guidelines, we can only store data for what is deemed to be a reasonable time and must be able to prove that data collected is consented and for a valid reason.

What we are doing to make your website GDPR compliant

Before the 25th May deadline we will be making the following changes to your website and Engine Room to ensure that any data gathered has been done so in truthful manner, with reason and with consent.

• Making the data collected only available to you, the intended and not shared
• Implementing the ability to remove customer data on request
• Ensuring that all privacy and cookie information is relevant and up to date
• Running complete threat assessments for the data that we hold
• Ensuring all reasonable security and encryption methods are in place and compliant

What we need from you

Becoming GDPR compliant involves sharing GDPR policies with partners, clients and suppliers. We will be providing you with our GDPR Compliance Document as outlined in the schedule below.

In the meantime, we will by the 1st May 2018 require the following information from you in order to ensure that we, yourselves and any relevant third parties are GDPR compliant.

• The name of your GDPR Compliance Officer/Data Protection Officer
• Contact details of your GDPR Compliance Officer/Data Protection Officer (including address, telephone number and email)
• A copy or your GDPR compliance document

Please note that we may make an addendum to your contract to reflect these changes.
