GDPR: What is it?

You will perhaps be aware of GDPR from your place of work or the media or through communications you are receiving from commercial or other charitable organisations about your personal data and preferences for being contacted.

The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) have given organisations the date of 25 May 2018 to be compliant with the updated General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR). Wirral Hospice St John’s has always and will continue to take Data Protection extremely seriously.
