All clubs and counties hold data about their members including names, addresses and other contact details.
On 25th May 2018 the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will come into force, adding significantly to the existing Data Protection legislation and providing the possibility of severe sanctions against organisations that fail to comply.
Since all clubs and counties are separate legal entities from the EBU, you are responsible for complying with all applicable legislation including the GDPR.
In order to help you prepare for this, please read this information document which will point you towards more help and document templates on our website, with the aim of making it easier for you to understand what you need to do. Please note though that this does not constitute legal advice and you should seek specialist advice if you are unsure of your responsibilities in any respects.
Further collated information to date is available here.
Do look at this information carefully now and consider what steps you need to take to ensure compliance by the 25th May. We will be happy to help in whatever way we can if you have further questions - please contact gordon@ebu.co.uk.
