The law which governs how businesses protect, use and store people’s information changed in 2018 with the introduction of General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

This guide is intended to help groups to understand and implement GDPR regulations with an emphasis on the protection of member and customer data.

It provides an overview of the essential elements of GDPR from seeking consent to using data for marketing to the role of a data protection officer.

This resource includes a guide on GDPR and editable templates to help you organise your data.

This guide was designed for Cooperatives but will be useful to all groups that collect and use member or customer information

  • What is GDPR - understanding the key elements of data protection legislation.
  • How to ‘process’ (Collect, store, use and delete) personal data
  • Understanding your legal requirement
