Has anyone else received a telephone call from a contact at @ICOnews asking for details of their data protection officer? #GDPR #DPO #privacy

And remember the 20% 'early payment discount' under the Data Protection Act 1998. Facebook could end up paying 'only £400k if the penalty is in fact £500k!

Almost 10 years after @ICOnews was given the power to issue monetary penalties, we are finally seeing the full extent of its powers under the Data Protection Act 1998. Could not have been issued against a more deserving organisation.

But would the equivalent penalty under the #GDPR have been the maximum €20m? Unlikely that @ICOnews would show the full extent of its teeth in the early days of #GDPR

Interesting times ahead, I'm sure.

1,300 “concerns or complaints” have been made to @DPCIreland since #GDPR became law less than a month ago; 60 data breaches notifications https://t.co/boiWM70OnU

Although I should add that it is a journey without end. There will always be things that come out of the woodwork later, there will always be rights requests, there will always data protection impact assessments (amongst other things). Quite frankly, the fun never ends!

If you are still on your #GDPR compliance journey, take some comfort from the words of @ICOnews from #dppc2018

Happy #GDPRday to everyone. The world just looks, feels and smells the same, doesn't it?

But at the same time, please keep #GDPR honest and clean. Scaremongering about #GDPR is just not acceptable and will only damage your business in the longer term.

February is already shaping up to be the month of #GDPRfever. Embrace #GDPR It won't go away the longer you leave it.
