GDPR

The General Data Protection Regulation (2016/679), which came into force on 25th May 2018, has set guidelines for the collection and processing of personal data of individuals in the EU/EEA. It also regulates the flow of personal data outside the EU/EEA.

FAQs

Q:Who does the GDPR apply to?
A:

The GDPR applies to all EU/EEA companies as well as companies outside the EU/EEA that offer goods or services (either paid or free) or monitors the behaviour of subjects in the EU/EEA.

Q:Does my company need to appoint a DPO?
A:

Yes: if you are a public authority; if your core activities consist of processing operations which require systematic monitoring of personal data on a large scale; if your company is processing large scale of special categories of data or personal data which relates to criminal offences; or if your member state law requires you to do so. The Data Protection Officer can be appointed within your company or be outsourced.

Q:Does my company need to carry out a DPIA?
A:

Where a type of processing, in particular when using new technologies, may result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, the Controller must conduct a Data Protection Impact Assessment prior to processing. Member state laws can also require a DPIA for certain categories of Controllers (e.g. a B2C iGaming Operator licensed by the MGA).

Q:What happens if I do not comply?
A:

Fines for non-compliance go up to €20mm or 4% of your worldwide turnover, whichever is greater. You may also be subject to lawsuits and a request for compensation from data subjects if your processing of personal data causes them a material or non-material damage.

Q:What is the difference between Data Controller and a Data Processor?
A:

The Data Controller decides the means and purposes for processing personal data, the Data Processor processes personal data on behalf of a Controller. Different levels of responsibilities lie on each party.
