GDPR is a complex law which all companies must comply with who wish to do business in the UK. Think carefully about what you do and what you may want to do in the future. We also encourage you to conduct a thorough investigation of your own. The UK’s independent authority set up to uphold information rights in the public interest, promoting openness by public bodies and data privacy for individuals is the Information Commissioner's Office.
