What do technology businesses really need to know about the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)?
What are our legal obligations? How does Jersey law tie in with the new European legislation coming into force in 2018 (the GDPR), which will affect not only residents of EU member states but also anyone outside the EU doing business in Europe? Do we really need to be concerned about the GDPR in Jersey and, if so, how worried should we be?
