Summary:
We live in an increasingly data driven world.
And perhaps no sector of industry utilises, works with and is subject to data as much as the PR and marketing communications sectors. Indeed, in some quarters, 2018 is being hailed as the new age of marketing communications and Public Relations and the reason is General Data Protection Regulations – GDPR.
And for small PR consultancies the oncoming GDPR regulations and laws could prove at best problematic and, at their most challenging, a severe and costly test to the agency.
The GDPR comes into effect in 2018. It will change the way your PR agency can collect, use and transfer personal data – with all the ramifications that will have for PR and marketing campaigns be it a simple newsletter distribution list to a new business database.
Questions small PR agencies are already asking is how will it impact databases with freelance journalist details that have their e-mail address as a generic Gmail or Hotmail address. How does the new regulations impact third party organisations such as bought in media databases or privately held personal details on media and opinion formers and leaders.
Consultancies will need to know where their data is stored, you may also need to change the way it is collected by your agency. And, subject access requests will have even shorter timescales as fines for noncompliance hit new levels.
And fines can be heavy for non-compliance
