00:00 - 00:03 | Sir, unfortunately most people |
00:03 - 00:06 | still don't understand GDPR. |
00:06 - 00:08 | It doesn't matter if they're in Berlin |
00:08 - 00:12 | or Frankfurt. The amount of misinformation |
00:12 - 00:15 | is simply mind boggling! |
00:17 - 00:19 | They think you can only process personal |
00:19 - 00:21 | data with the subjects consent? |
00:24 - 00:26 | Mein Führer |
00:27 - 00:28 | unfortunately |
00:31 - 00:33 | unfortunately that is correct. |
00:34 - 00:36 | They really haven't got a clue. |
00:53 - 00:58 | It really is an unbelievable situation! |
01:13 - 01:15 | How can these people not know |
01:15 - 01:17 | that there are 6 lawful reasons |
01:18 - 01:23 | for processing personal data and consent is |
01:25 - 01:28 | only one of those reasons! |
01:29 - 01:31 | The ICO's draft guidance even says |
01:31 - 01:34 | that you shouldn't use consent as the reason |
01:34 - 01:37 | for processing data if you have any other lawful reason. |
01:37 - 01:40 | Do these people not read any of this guidance? |
01:40 - 01:42 | But Sir, there are so called experts saying the wrong things! |
01:42 - 01:46 | Well they should shut up if they don't know the law! |
01:46 - 01:48 | But GDPR feels complicated |
01:48 - 01:52 | It's perfectly simple if you just take the time to learn |
01:53 - 01:54 | what the law actually says |
01:56 - 01:57 | and how it works in conjunction with |
01:57 - 02:00 | other laws like PECR |
02:00 - 02:03 | It's not bloody rocket science. |
02:04 - 02:08 | I've had to unfollow several Facebook groups |
02:08 - 02:13 | because I can't keep correcting people's misconceptions |
02:14 - 02:16 | without losing my mind. |
02:17 - 02:21 | Most people seem to think the ICO are like Stalin |
02:27 - 02:29 | and will just impose massive fines because they can |
02:30 - 02:34 | but they don't work like that at all! |
02:34 - 02:36 | They want to encourage responsible behaviour. |
02:41 - 02:42 | In 2016 / 2017 |
02:43 - 02:47 | the ICO concluded 17,300 cases |
02:48 - 02:53 | and only issued 16 fines! |
02:54 - 02:56 | Does that sound like a regulator who |
02:56 - 02:59 | prefers the stick to the carrot? |
03:00 - 03:02 | But still there is constant fear-mongering. |
03:04 - 03:07 | Don't cry - it's not May 25th yet! |
03:14 - 03:16 | We have to let them get on with it. |
03:19 - 03:23 | We can't force them to read and learn |
03:25 - 03:27 | how to avoid silly mistakes. |
03:31 - 03:33 | What will be will be. |
03:40 - 03:46 | We can only hope that they will actually download |
03:46 - 03:49 | and read the white paper from EventReference.com |
03:53 - 03:58 | then they may learn the error of their ways! |
