Or contact us at: XXX XXX XXXX GDPR, General Data Protection Regulation, was implemented in Europe May 25th. GDPR will establish a new global precedent around the importance of personal information ownership and consumer protection. GDPR is a series of new data protection initiatives designed to ensure the integrity of personal data for individuals — not organizations. Protecting personal data is a top priority for the GDPR. lthough the GDPR is law throughout the European Union, it applies to any company processing, storing or using data related to a European citizen — even if it is just one customer. US newspapers that have digital subscribers or readers in the EU must adhere to the GDPR or risk fines up to 4% of total revenue. If you are collecting data on a European citizen, GDPR applies. Americans deserve privacy protection too, and there is an urgent need for data protection reform here in the US, so expect Congress to take this up soon. So, what should publishers do? Begin by creating or updating your website's privacy policy. Even if GDPR doesn't apply to you, it's a good thing to do. Your readers should know that protecting their personal data is important to you. Use simple, clear, concise language to describe your newspaper's practices in collecting personal data. Explain how and why you collect data. Provide options so users can manage, update or delete their data. Then communicate with readers and users, using your websites and social media platforms to tell customers that your newspaper is committed to protecting the integrity of their personal data. Don't just talk the talk — review your methods of collecting personal data, think about how outdated or irrelevant data is disposed of, and how to safeguard information that is retained. A company-wide system for protecting personal data should be established and understood by every staff member. We've included a sample privacy policy below to help you get started.
