The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will come into force on the 25th May 2018, replacing the existing data protection framework under the EU Data Protection Directive.
The GDPR emphasises transparency, security and accountability by data controllers, while at the same time standardising and strengthening the right of European citizens to data privacy.
What is Wexford County Council doing?
Wexford County Council is taking a proactive approach to GDPR. Our policies have been reviewed and will be updated on an ongoing basis around Data Protection.
We have developed a privacy policy for the organisation and work is ongoing to expand this to include privacy notices for individual business units.
