Qualification Information

The GDPR covers the processing of the personal data of European citizens, even if that processing takes place outside the EU. When the UK leaves the EU, the GDPR will stay and the UK's national regulator, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), advises companies to carry out their preparation plans. This is the best place to start.

This course has been developed in conjunction with the DMA Responsible Marketing Committee and the GDPR External Working Party, delivered by the IDM.

If you have any questions on how the GDPR affects your business you should seek independent legal advice.
