GDPR Risk Assessment Form

Hi Folks

There's been a lot written lately about the new General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) which became law in the EU yesterday, Friday 25th May.

I'm sure, like me, your e-mail inbox has been inundated by Privacy Policy updates from everyone you have subscribed to online, and while this may start to get a little tedious it can be a great framework for wording our own Privacy Policies on our own niche websites.

I've been printing them all off and am now going through them picking out the wording that I like.

One of the requirements of GDPR is to have a Risk Assessment with which you can show anyone who requests the details of their personal data that you hold, how you store it and how you use it.

Data has to be securely kept, whether it be electronically on a password protected device or physically in a fire proof container with a combination lock.

I've created a Risk Assessment form which I think covers pretty much any eventuality for basic personal data. It's generic and there would be additional things to add to it if, say, you are promoting Health and Wellness products and services. In this case, you may need to include a bit about your Client's medical history.

If or when someone asks you for details of what data you hold on them or reports you for a possible data breach, you will need to provide them and your relevant national authority with that information.

If you're collecting personal data via a contact form on your Auto Responder, take a snapshot of the contact form showing your GDPR compliance statement and their consent and keep it with your Risk Assessment form you have created for that person.

I created in an Excel spreadsheet which I unfortunately can't attach, but I'm happy to send it to your inbox if you PM me. It might not be today as I'm busy but it'll be with a couple of days.

Have a great weekend, folks. Onwards and upwards!

Cheers

Rich :-)

I agree with your viewpoint Rich. BTW your image setting looks amazingly like the C&O Canal National Park out of Wash, DC!

Hi Mike, if it's my profile pic you're referring to it's at the entrance to Chepstow Castle on the English / Welsh border. I could probably do with updating it, as it's 7 years old now!
Cheers
Rich :-)
