Data protection & GDPR

The rules on data protection have now changed. The Data Protection Act 1998 has been replaced by the Data Protection Act 2018, which incorporates the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This section includes guidance materials and documents for small business owners to raise awareness on the changes and to bring you up to speed on the latest developments.

*The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) regularly provides updates to their guidance around the data protection rules. We will update our documents accordingly, so please ensure that you are using the most up-to-date version of our documents.
