Listen "Registration and beyond: 2021 changes"
Episode Synopsis
Registration with us is changing in 2021, what is it all about and what does it mean for you?
In this podcast the Bailiwick of Guernsey’s Data Protection Commissioner Emma Martins explains to Kirsty Bougourd what is changing with registration and how it’s really just the first step in a journey towards looking after personal data well.
From January 2021 there will no longer be any exemptions to registering with the ODPA and it’s vital for anyone using personal data in their work to register. This includes small businesses and sole traders that may only hold or use limited personal data.
Emma runs through what has and hasn’t changed in terms of registration and payment. She reminds us that there has never been an exemption to compliance and to looking after personal data in our care properly and in line with the Law.
Kirsty and Emma also discuss what the ODPA is doing to assist anyone who may be new to registration or who has any queries regarding their business or work.
As Emma says, data is the fuel of the economy and everyone benefits if data is looked after well.
