THE PRIVACYPERFECT BLOG

What does the GDPR really mean for you as a retailer? Well, as is often the case with a subject like privacy: it depends. After you’ve determined that the GDPR is applicable because personal (identifying) data is involved, let’s take a look at today’s retail business operations and what it entails. We will go through specific aspects of direct marketing, e-commerce habits, and even efforts made for compliance offline, to get a better understanding of what the GDPR means for retail.

Data breach. Two words you just don’t want to hear after a long week. It’s finally the Friday afternoon you’d been waiting for. Weekend plans with the family, the clock has just hit 16:00, and the weather isn’t as bad as predicted. Yet, here you are, after conducting a DPIA, finding yourself in a situation where you have a mere 72 hours to handle a whole breach. In this blog post, we will discuss your options, and provide you with support to handle this procedure seamlessly.

Conducting a DPIA is often seen as a rather challenging task. But, there are ways still to make it a little easier.  We have highlighted the steps to get through conducting a DPIA in the least painless way possible. We’ve put down aspects from pre-assessment elements, through overcoming the struggles of getting support and involving key players, to how you can cut through the edges and simplify processes.         

We have now introduced a new DPIA module within our software. Besides all the serious stuff in and around it, we wanted to do something more in line with the time of year: summer, vacation, relaxation and fun. So we matched movie fragments with each of the eleven DPIA triggers that were issued by the European Data Protection Board. Seen all these movies? Relive the excitement. Never seen any of them? Check out the fragments and see if they’re worth a search on Netflix.
