The latest in BHETA’s popular series of advisory webinars will focus on data protection rules and ensuring that companies remain compliant. The event takes place on Thursday 29th February at 2pm, presented by Jenna Bruce and Stephen Ruse from commercial law firm and BHETA business service provider, Howes Percival.
This session is intended as an introduction and overview of the UK data protection regime, including a reminder of core areas of compliance and an update on recent changes. The agenda will cover:
- Why does data protection matter?
- What rights do people have?
- What impact does data protection compliance have on contracting?
- What impact does it have on marketing (including e-communications)?
- What is a data breach and what should we do?
- What if we get it wrong?
Commenting on the webinar, BHETA marketing director, Steve Richardson said: “Just recently Hello Fresh was fined £140,000 for sending out texts and emails without the appropriate consents being in place. This is a salutary reminder for all companies not only to understand the rules and train personnel accordingly, but also to double check that they are still compliant on a regular basis. This BHETA event is the perfect opportunity to do just that.”
