What is the EU GDPR?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>

\u00a0<\/p>

General Data Protection Regulation is an EU data protection directive, introducing a series of \u2018data subject\u2019 rights that were introduced in 2018 to ensure that all EU residents have control over their personal data \u2013 The GDPR still affects the UK businesses, despite our decision to leave the EU.<\/p>

Why is the GDPR so important?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>

Many smaller businesses across London presume the GDPR doesn\u2019t apply to them. This is not the case. The GDPR\u2019s regulations state that any business that is involved in the handling or processing of personal data would be subject to the same financial penalty as large businesses.<\/p>

IOTAC LTD is a registered company in England and Wales.
Registered Number 11794703.<\/strong>
Registered Office: 13 Whites Row London E1 7NF<\/p>

IOTAC LTD embraces the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which comes into force in EU member states from May 2018.<\/p>

In essence, the GPDR puts into practice its six underlying principles to protect the individual and the personally identifiable information (PII).<\/p>

\u2981 Lawfulness, fairness and transparency.<\/span> Lawful: Processing must meet the tests described in GDPR [article 5, clause 1(a)]. Fair: What is processed must match up with how it has been described. Transparency: Explain to the subject what data processing will be done.<\/p>

\u2981 Purpose limitations<\/span>: Define what it is being used for and not be used for other purposes.
\u2981 Data minimisation<\/span>: Only store what is required.
\u2981 Accuracy<\/span>: The data is accurate
\u2981 Storage limitations<\/span>: No longer than necessary.
\u2981 Integrity and confidentiality<\/span>: It is held securely and, if stored online or in the cloud, it is encrypted by default.<\/p>

There is currently no \u201cGDPR data compliance certificate\u201d as such. The Information Commissioner\u2019s Office (ICO) can audit any IOTAC to assess whether they are compliant or not.<\/p>
