GDPR: how it affects the charity sector (25/05/2017)

25 May 2017 London

A breakfast seminar discussing the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) ahead of its introduction in May 2018.

This event is now sold-out. To register for the waiting list, click here.

Despite exiting the EU, GDPR will still apply to the UK and charities must comply. Many charities are still learning the details of the new regulation and whether or not their current data practices will still comply with data protection law.

This breakfast briefing aims to cut through the confusion and give you practical advice to ensure your charity is prepared for the future.

This event is for charities only. As a result, there are no corporate spaces available and we will withdraw places booked by non-charity delegates. We will issue a refund minus an administration fee of 15%.

    How will the GDPR affect your direct marketing and fundraising activities?

    This session will examine how the GDPR will affect charities’ direct marketing and fundraising activities, particularly focussing on whether consent will remain the most appropriate (or even an available) basis for processing personal data for direct marketing purposes. Mark Harvey & Jonathan McDonald will also look at the interplay of the Fundraising Code and the Charities (Protection and Social Investment) Act 2016 with the GDPR and examine the additional requirements this may place on charities.
