Data Protection Refresher

Why data protection matters to everyone in the motor trade

Course Overview

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a European law incorporated into UK law via The Data Protection Act 2018. GDPR was a big topic in 2018, and despite its lower profile in 2023, it remains an area all motor trade businesses and employees must understand to protect themselves from complaints, fines, and prosecution.

GDPR applies to everyone in a business and this session looks at what can go wrong, and how mistakes and a lack of processes may lead to prosecution and financial penalties.

Whether you are a director or an employee, you need a data protection refresher, or to learn the basics, this session will help you and your business stay on the right side of the law.
