You set your business up to follow your own dream, and I know that your dream isn’t GDPR!
What if I told you that I love the subject, and my favourite clients are the people itching to do things right, but who aren’t sure how to go about it?
When you use GCA, you have an extra pair of hands and an external pair of eyes for you to rely on. From overseeing processing and providing day to day advice, to document review and uplift, data mapping and fundraising/marketing compliance advice right the way through to DPIA and if I’m your DPO, breach notification to the ICO in the event it’s needed.
Many, if not most, of the common mistakes made in the 3rd sector and growing businesses can be rectified easily and quickly. For instance, of the six lawful bases available for processing personal data, Consent is never appropriate for HR data. If you have an online shop, you may be confused about marketing and soft opt in (the pre-ticked box is perfectly OK in some circumstances). It may be thought that there is a legal obligation to collect emergency contact details for staff and volunteers (there isn’t), or that it’s OK to ask staff to complete detailed and invasive medical questionnaires and hold them on file ‘just in case’ (really, I beg of you – don’t do this).
These are just a few of the common mistakes I see on a regular basis, but with GCA by your side, you can be confident you won’t make them.
