At the heart of the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is the subject of ‘personal data’.
But what is personal data? Are names and email addresses classified as personal data? What about photographs and ID numbers? What about business data?
The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) has been in force for some time. So, no doubt you are familiar with the term ‘personal data’. But, what exactly does personal data mean? The GDPR includes a sub-category of sensitive personal data that comes with its own requirements.
The lockdown is all but at an end in England. Many businesses reopened on 4th July 2020, with the government allowing pubs, restaurants, cinemas, museums and hotels to reopen. Part of the conditions attached to this are that pubs will collect your personal data.
The decision comes after steady progress in mitigating the spread of COVID-19 and the partial reopening of other sectors over the previous month.
However, this isn’t business as usual, as restrictions will still be in place. This includes plans for recording your data on entry and to keep it for 21 days.
