A shift in our corporate and individual attitude to the misuse
of data is now central to the Office of the Data Protection
Authority's (the ODPA) future approach to governance and
enforcement in Guernsey.
Following the end of the transitional relief period under the
Data Protection (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law, 2017 (the Law) in May
this year, we have now rounded up the key issues which the ODPA
have communicated to us and which will dictate that approach.
A change in culture in the workplace
The ODPA has repeatedly highlighted its encouragement for a
shift in our attitude (as consumers as well as businesses) so that
the misuse of data is seen as both legally and socially
unacceptable.
