For many years now, consumers have used personal data as a form of 'currency'. People have shared their personal data with businesses in order to access content and services. However, it is very important that businesses that collect personal data both use and store this data in a responsible and ethical manner that complies with the GDPR.
On the 25th of May 2018, the GDPR became enforceable. This means that Personal data (information which can be used to identify and individual/data subject either directly or indirectly) is protected. It also provides individuals with a series of rights, for example the right to access data and the right to erasure (also known as the right to be forgotten).
Email marketing such as newsletter mailing is prohibited without opt-in permission and the processing of personal data is only allowed by law with the consent of the individual (or if there is statutory justification).
This means that if you want to utilise email marketing (such as a newsletter) you need opt-in permission of the recipient. Additionally, if you want to process data, you need the consent of the person in question.
With regards to consent. It is very important that you provide the individual with enough information to make an informed decision. If you are confused regarding the changes in GDPR, you can learn more about the GDPR and consent by visiting gdpr-info.eu. However, if you are interested in digital marketing and would like to talk to the Promote team to discuss our many digital marketing services such as email marketing or Search Engine Optimisation, please contact us using the information that is available at the bottom of this page.
The regulations apply to all companies who have EU citizens as customers. As such, non-EU countries are also affected by these regulations. Additionally, as the UK is a member of the EU until the point it leaves, it has to comply with EU regulations.
Also, it is important to remember that EU regulations are different to EU directives. An EU directive requires national governments within the European Union to pass legislation. EU regulations are directly binding and require no such legislation.
However, in May 2018 the Data Protection Act 2018 was granted royal assent. This act of parliament contains equivalent regulations to the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation. This means that when the UK leaves the EU in 2019, the same regulations will continue to apply.
