Successfully Managing the New Data Protection Laws
03 - 05 July 2000
St. John's College, Cambridge, UK
Overview
THE NEW DATA PROTECTION LAW entered into force in the UK on 1 March
Similar laws are already in force or will soon be operational in all the other European Union member states. Several countries outside the EU are also amending their data protection laws to bring them into line with the EU Data Protection Directive.
How well are managers and staff across your organisation prepared for the changes in these laws, both the stronger rights for individuals and the new legal requirements for your organisation? What are the rights and the legal obligations, in practice? This conference provides you with answers to enable you to successfully manage the new data protection laws.
