If you’re involved in data, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) should be at the front of your mind. Brexit is now a reality we can’t hide from, but we should be putting customers first anyway? But where do you start to find out what the new regulations mean for your business? What impact does Brexit have? When do we need to start? The DMA Group have a series of events and training courses coming to Scotland which will bring you up to date with the changing laws and relative political landscape.

Legal Update Glasgow, Tuesday 28 March, 2:00-4.30pm
Deciphering new legislation, particularly the new EU GDPR, and how it will affect one-to-one marketing is a full time job. That’s why we employ solicitors so you don’t have to. So what do you need to do?
Come along to a legal update where DMA solicitors share their wisdom.
The session covers existing law and discusses potential changes to legislation, in particular the EU DGPR, which will have major implications for all companies that deal with data. Our solicitors can advise you on how to adjust your practices so you remain compliant across all aspects of your marketing now and into the future.
Our solicitors work closely with the Information Commissioner’s Office and the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills. They are engaged with legislation affecting data protection, big data, nuisance calls and contentious issues associated with one-to-one marketing.
You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions specific to your business. This update is ideal for professionals in compliance roles, business owners and marketers who take best practice seriously.
