The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) will become law in 2018 and effects how we need to store and manage data for people in the EU. After Brexit, it’ll still effect how we handle customers in the EU’s data. The 100ish page GDPR covers all sorts of telecommunications and electronic data so this talk aims to tell web designers and developers the essentials they need to know in an easy to digest format so that they can help their clients (and themselves) stay inline with the legal requirements, from discussing considerations for big databases through to simple newsletter sign ups.
