GDPR - Why Risk a Fine?

The law on data protection says what you should do when you collect, use, store or do anything else with people's personal data. This law changes on 25 May 2018. As a freelance or independent professional (working as a sole trader or micro-business/ Limited company), we often handle data differently from many other larger firms. GDPR still impacts us.

There is NO exemption for Sole Traders or micro-businesses. If you hold and work on data from clients, such as job application forms etc, then you need to have a contract with the client stating how that data is to be held and managed.

Two Principles of GDPR
The first principle means that you must have appropriate legal grounds for processing the data and that you do it in a transparent manner.
The second principle says that you must only collect data for a specific purpose and use it only for that purpose.
