In recent years, data protection has become an essential subject for businesses. And for good reason, the new European regulation on personal data, better known by the acronym GDPR , will come into force next year. What changes does the GDPR actually bring? How will businesses be impacted and how can they prepare before the 2018 implementation? An article by Thomas Kaeb , Senior Sales Manager Business Solutions at Wacom The GDPR, new European regulation on personal data, was validated on May 25, 2016. This announcement caused a real slump since this new legislation aims to revolutionize and better regulate company practices in terms of personal data management.
Companies only have 15 months before having to comply with the Special Data new European requirements or risk being sanctioned, with a fine of up to 4% of their global turnover . Restore Internet users’ trust Since 1995, data protection in Europe has not been reviewed and corrected; Apart from that, accessibility, consumption and even use of the internet have evolved significantly since then. Europe has therefore chosen to adopt a “ General Data Protection Regulation ” with the aim of updating the rules in this area and strengthening the rights and protection of European residents vis-à-vis of their personal data. This initiative is particularly important since it also aims to promote the emergence of a climate of trust between individuals and businesses in a context where caution and skepticism reign. Especially since with the advent of GAFA and other social networks, personal information has become gold mines for companies , which sometimes make it their business. For Internet users, the GDPR turns out to be very positive since it guarantees a high level of protection of their personal data, in particular thanks to the implementation of “ Privacy by Design and by Default ” which implies that data protection is not is more incidental but obligatory.
A text targeting GAFA but which impacts all other companies However, from the point of view of businesses, this change can be perceived negatively because unfortunately, if the text was clearly written to regulate the activities of GAFA and other web giants, all businesses are impacted by the tightening of rules. new regulations, even if their uses differ. Finally, the GDPR applies the same rules and the same authorizations for a large number of different types of information, which removes the intention of companies to only look at pseudonyms, the most accessible private data. If this new regulation is not a real revolution but more an evolution of the rules, it still requires companies to rethink the way in which they collect, process and store information. Thus, from 2018, it will be mandatory to provide Internet users whose data is stored with a clear text explaining the data security policy . Companies must also be able to provide them with all their personal data in a simple and transferable format via the internet . Of course, the right to be forgotten must also make possible the rapid deletion of all data. This part of the regulation is already influencing certain companies, such as Facebook and Google, which are gradually preparing for GDPR.
