The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will be replacing the current Data Protection laws and places a greater emphasis on you (as a data controller), in short, it gives your patients more control over what you do with their data.
The Information Commissioners Office (ICO) recommends “mapping out which parts of the GDPR will have the greatest impact on your business model and give those areas due prominence in your planning process”.
This guide doesn’t constitute legal advice but is intended to be a useful and practical guide of steps to take to help make your dental business GDPR compliant.
