General Data Protection Regulations 2017 (GDPR) & Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA)
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
GDPR is designed to strengthen the data rights of all EU residents, harmonising data protection law across all EU member states.
In order to comply with some of the Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) rules, it is a requirement to process personal data. Furthermore, firms that are Directly Authorised (DA) or are an Appointed Representative (AR) often find it necessary to collect financial and other data from their clients to provide a service. Firms of all types and sizes are now at risk of potential fines for misusing data and unnecessarily collecting data.
