Data Protection Act UK

Seminar Content

All businesses have important information about employees, customers and prospects. As a result of the Data Protection Act, which became Law in 2000, there are very strict rules governing how you must deal with this data. Anybody who has access to any personal information on any other living individual is affected by these laws and any manager who fails in his duty as detailed by the Act can be held personally liable, face criminal prosecution and a fine of up to £5000. It is vital that those who collect and use personal data uphold the confidence of those who are asked to provide it by complying with the requirements of the DPA.
