The European Union (EU) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
took effect on May 25, 2018. The regulation is designed to
protect the privacy rights and freedoms of individuals residing
in the EU. However, the regulation is being deemed the new “gold
standard” for privacy protection globally. Under GDPR,
individuals have specific data subject rights relating to data
erasure/deletion and organizations have defined data retention
and destruction responsibilities. In this session, Lisa will
introduce attendees to GDPR and share how to facilitate a path
towards records/information management compliance under the
regulation.
