Practical priorities

Give staff clear access rules when one person handles several roles. Keep a record of where documents are stored and how departing staff access is removed.

International activities

Overseas privacy requirements may be relevant depending on your establishment, activities, customers and contractual role. Handling information about an overseas person alone does not settle which law applies. For GDPR, assess territorial scope under Article 3 and seek advice where needed.

Useful steps now

Record the personal data you use and the reason you need it.
Identify sector rules and confidentiality commitments.
Check overseas suppliers, data transfers and contracts.
Set access, retention and incident-reporting arrangements.
