GDPR OVERVIEW & MISSION STATEMENT
“Our data records are our diamonds. If mining diamonds, they must be coveted and looked after.”
The Platinum Group is totally committed to complying with the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) legislation. This significant legislation is in force from 25th May 2018. It is our stated intention to keep all Employee and Customer Data safe, and to use/deploy it correctly and in accordance with the law at all times.
Put simply, the GDPR legislation concerns the security and correct use of data by and within an organisation. It will effectively superseded previous legislation surrounding data protection and related topics. This flagship legislation will be monitored by an oversight regulatory body (the ICO – Information Commissioner’s Office), with businesses being subject to penalties and fines for instances of non-compliance.
Simple though that may sound, the legislation itself is wide ranging and complex and has ramifications for the work of all departments within the company going, whether HR, Marketing, Payroll, Sales, Service, Parts and Accounts/Finance etc. It must therefore be woven into the daily fabric and processes of the business.
Though the company provides this overall framework, it is teamwork that will ensure that we do this correctly each and every day. Thus GDPR compliance is a daily approach to working by which every team member must abide by, and maintain awareness of.
