De-Mystifying Consent Under the GDPR - ERP Spain.com - España y América Latina

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into force on May 25th, 2018. The GDPR changes the way that consent is sought and managed and it sets a high standard for consent. Consent means offering people genuine choice and control over how you use their data. When consent is used properly, it helps you build trust and enhance your reputation. The changes from the GDPR reflect a more dynamic idea of consent: consent as an organic, ongoing and actively managed choice, and not simply a one-off compliance box to tick and file away. This webinar will help you to decide when to rely on consent for processing and when to look at alternatives. It explains what counts as valid consent, and how to obtain and manage consent in a way that complies with the GDPR.
