About this title

Synopsis

Open, fair and well-managed data protection practice is not just desirable but essential if you want to ensure trust in your charity. Get it wrong and you risk reputational damage as well as financial penalties. This book will enable you to set a shining example of best practice by complying with UK data protection legislation and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in force since 2018. It will help

*Understand the key principles and elements of data protection
*Recognise your responsibilities as a data controller
*Distinguish when you need consent from individuals to hold and use their data (and when you don’t)
*Ensure that your organisation’s security measures are appropriate
*Appreciate what the rights of data subjects are

Invaluable to data managers or those who handle personal information such as IT, personnel, marketing and fundraising departments, this book is essential reading for anyone in the UK voluntary sector who wants to get beyond tick-box data management. For professional advisers and academics it also offers a valuable summary that draws out key data protection points by examining and interpreting the primary legislation.
