About GDPR
The Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA18) governs the use of data in the UK. The DPA18 writes the EU GDPR into UK Law. Many sections are copied word for word. But there are some differences that you need to be aware of if you are based in the UK or are marketing to citizens of the UK.
There are two tiers of fines under GDPR. The upper maximum, allows fines of upto 20 million Euros or 4% of the total annual worldwide turnover in the preceding financial year, whichever is higher.
The standard maximum, allows fines of upto 10 million Euros (or equivalent in sterling) or 2% of the total annual worldwide turnover in the preceding financial year, whichever is higher. The tier applied depends on what provisions of GDPR have been breached.
Local enforcement agencies exist in each EU Member State. For example in the UK, it’s the ICO, in France it’s the CNIL, in Spain it’s the AEPD. These are public bodies that work independently of the state. These agencies are required to enforce the application of GDPR and provide assistance to individuals and organisations to ensure that data subjects’ rights are upheld. These agencies lead investigations into non-compliance, they have the power to audit organisations data practices and have the power to issue fines for non-compliance.
The definition of personal data under the GDPR is broad. In Art. 4 (1). of the GDPR, Personal data is defined as any information related to an identified or identifiable natural person. It does not matter if it is not possible to fully identify the individual solely from the personal data concerned. If the personal data can be combined with other data to identify an individual then it still must be afforded protections under GDPR
The law affects any organisation processing the personal data of EU citizens. An organisation could be a sole trader, a registered business, a non-profit/charity or a club/membership organisation. Only natural persons, processing data for non-commercial means would be exempt. For example, an individual storing their friend’s mobile number in their mobile phone would not be subject to GDPR. However, an individual working for a company, storing a prospect’s mobile phone number would be. Similarly, an individual running a group class at a non-profit community centre who stores attendance lists containing personal data such as first and last names, would be subject to GDPR.
