GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is a new European regulation that introduces uniform rules on privacy. New European GDPR legislation is valid from 25.5.2018 in all EU Member States . However, unlike any regulation currently in force, and non-European entities that handle any data of EU citizens must follow it. The processing of personal data is now about everyone , and it often does not even make the entrepreneur aware of the fact that it might be at all. The processing of personal data occurs in a variety of situations (patient records management, monitoring of the CCTV system, management of a different agenda eg wage and personnel, processing orders or customer complaints, providing marketing services, etc.) .
As the new GDPR brings in non-discharging to liquidation penalties (4% of the entity's worldwide turnover or up to 20 million EUR), each ambulance and clinic should pay due attention to this regulation.
The most basic areas for which the GDPR is extended are personal data of a technical nature (such as visitor's IP address, Google analytics and statistics on the web, cookies, ...).
GDPR also tightens the rules for granting and demonstrating consent to the processing of personal data.
The conditions for the processing of personal data of persons under the age of 16 have also been tightened. Businesses who regularly process information on individuals on a large scale are required to provide so- DPO, Data Protection Officer - we also provide this additional service. The GDPR also introduced an obligation to keep records of the processing of personal data. It is also a duty to report security incidents to the Office for the Protection of Personal Data as well as to the persons concerned. An important part of the new regulation is the right to be completely forgotten and erased, as well as the right of the persons concerned to transfer their personal data.
GDPR should not be said to be a scarecrow, it should help improve the processing of EU citizens' personal data.
