Charity advice on GDPR

Top five tips

Here are our top five of data protection tips for small and medium sized charities and third sector organisations:
  1. Tell people what you are doing with their dataPeople should know what you are doing with their information and who it will be shared with. This is a legal requirement (as well as established best practice) so it is important you are open and honest with people about how their data will be used.
  2. Make sure your staff are adequately trained
    New employees must receive data protection training to explain how they should store and handle personal information. Refresher training should be provided at regular intervals for existing staff.
  3. Use strong passwordsThere is no point protecting the personal information you hold with a password if that password is easy to guess. All passwords should contain upper and lower case letters, a number and ideally a symbol. This will help to keep your information secure from would-be thieves.
  4. Encrypt all portable devicesMake sure all portable devices – such as memory sticks and laptops – used to store personal information are encrypted.
  5. Only keep people’s information for as long as necessaryMake sure your organisation has established retention periods in place and set up a process for deleting personal information once it is no longer required.

  1. It is a little irritating to assume that readers will know what GDPR stands for - I don't! It is so close to GDP (Gross Domestic Product) as to be confusing. Please always include an explanation on first use.

    1. The EU has recently approved the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the largest change to the protection of personal data since the Directive in 1995. The GDPR comes into effect for EU Member States on 25 May 2018.
