The Publishers Association is launching a new online toolkit for members to help them prepare for the upcoming General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which will introduce widespread changes to data protection laws in Europe.
The resources, which have been developed for the PA by law firm Harbottle & Lewis together with technology consultancy Stigmergist, offer a full practical guide for publishers, outlining what they need to do to comply with the new regulations before they apply from May 25, 2018. The resources include a questionnaire to help the publishers conduct their own data review, template policies and contracts, guidance on data processing contracts and transferring data outside the European Economic Area. The toolkit has been particularly designed to support smaller publishers, to ensure they have a straightforward, accessible route to compliance. Larger members will also benefit from using the resources as a reference point for their own GDPR preparations.
The toolkit will include a series of webinars with topics including an introduction to data protection and the GDPR, handling children’s data, data subject rights and data breaches. The toolkit will be available to all members on the PA’s website.
