PREFACE

 

 

I was the early starter to get awakened towards GDPR due to my practice in cyber and privacy law. When I first started the firm EUGDPR Institute, I was sure about writing a book on GDPR but never knew the connotations it would have. I was involved in training participants from many large IT Companies like Tech Mahindra, TCS, Oracle, IBM, Cognizant etc. and obviously partners from large law firms then I decided to pen this book as the legal language and its interpretation was always a challenge to these technology or GRC migrants. Being author of published and famous books on cyber law made the structure of this book clear in my mind. Articles of GDPR do have a typical international law kinda language and often raises more than one questions or doubts in the avid reader of the topic.

This book is a series of articles and interpretations. It deals with questions of applicability of GDPR articles in various scenarios; at its core, GDPR is a new set of rules designed to give EU citizens more control over their personal data. It aims to simplify the regulatory environment for business so both citizens and businesses in the European Union can fully benefit from the digital economy.

Fundamentally, almost every aspect of our lives revolves around data. From social media companies, to banks, retailers, and governments -- almost every service we use involves the collection and analysis of our personal data. Your name, address, credit card number and more all collected, analysed and, perhaps most importantly, stored by organisations

In this busy age, when we are all bombarded with information, it is helpful, I think, to be offered a chance to take a breath and do things simply. There is something meditative about reading the GDPR articles one by one and again going through it next time. There is something therapeutic in watching people’s faces light up when they find they are compliant to particular article of GDPR. There is something healing in the simple task of being aware about applicability of GDPR to the organisation. GDPR applies to any organisation operating within the EU, as well as any organisations outside of the EU, which offer goods or services to customers or businesses in the EU. That ultimately means that almost every major corporation and practitioner in the world will need this book to understand, implement, comply and re-comply with GDPR.

Whether you are a DPO, a auditor, a lawyer, a student, a GRC professional, a privacy devotee, a lonely heart nostalgic for GDPR trainings — I hope you find something of value in
