GDPR Rules came into force on 25th May 2018

If you conduct business in the UK or elsewhere in the EU then new Data laws being implemented by the EU on 25th May may affect you. These new rules will impact on any international organisation handling personal data of anyone residing in the European Union. This means that New Zealand organisations and businesses need to review their internal data processing procedures, or risk hefty fines for non-compliance. GDPR compliance is not a one-off task but is an ongoing process. Relevant policies should therefore continuously be monitored, reviewed and, most importantly, communicated to staff. You can get more information here
