Target Audience
‘The General Data Protection Regulation course – Level 1’ is aimed at staff, supervisors and line managers working in data handling related positions.
The other GDPR Level 2 e-learning is for departmental line managers, Heads of Function, company directors and those responsible for ensuring organisational compliance with the GDPR and would have a basic level of GDPR knowledge already. The GDPR Level 2 e-learning is not a continuation of Level 1 and the GDPR modules do not need to be completed in succession.
Outline
The data protection regulation commonly referred to as the ‘GDPR’, came into force throughout the EU and EEA on May 25th, 2018. This regulation is highly significant for any organisation that handles or monitors the personal data of individuals within the EU and EEA.
The regulation aims to:
- Safeguard the personal data privacy rights of individuals.
- Heighten accountability for how personal data is acquired and handled.
The GDPR applies to organisations that:
- collect, share and use the personal data of EU/EEA residents;
- offer goods and services to, or monitor EU/EEA residents.
The GDPR applies, irrespective of the country where the organisation is established. Thus, the GDPR has expanded the territorial scope of EU data protection law.
This course can be accessed for up to 30 days after purchase.
