A 2015 study from The Office for National Statistics shows that the internet was accessed every day or nearly every day by 78% of adults in Great Britain that year—compared to only 35% in 2006. While directly comparable records between 1995 and 2017 are not available, this statistic gives an indication of just how much times have changed.
The Data Protection Directive laid out the philosophy that individuals retain rights of ownership over their personal data even after they’ve lent it to an organisation. (Companies in the U.S. do not need to follow such a principle; when American companies obtain data, they have more flexibility over what they do with it.) Further, individuals in the EU have the right to withdraw consent to the use of their data, and organisations generally must comply.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_wp_text]GDPR CONFORMITY QUESTIONARE
