Most of us handle personal information as part of
our volunteering, whether it's about customers, clients, other volunteers or
members of the public.
We live in a world full of
data, where finding answers to nearly any question is a simple Internet search,
where sharing personal details with strangers on social media is commonplace,
and where
businesses can build detailed profiles about individuals for a variety of
purposes.
But what about those individuals’ privacy? How can data be used and still be protected?
We want to make sure you are trained in the principles and practices of GDPR so this course provides information and training for you to understand our responsibility to keep personal data safe and secure and process it in line with GDPR legislation.
