9 Months to Go

Last month, we began our 10-month series of client alerts leading up to the implementation date of the EU's General Data Protection Regulation by introducing the GDPR and providing a flowchart to help you determine whether the GDPR applies to your company.

If you have not done so already, follow our three-question flowchart to answer the question: "Does GDPR Apply to You?" If "Yes" then you may be required to designate a Data Protection Officer ("DPO") by May 25, 2018, when the GDPR applies.

Follow our five-step flowchart below to see if you should designate a DPO.

*For all companies, document the review process used to determine whether or not a DPO should be appointed, and keep a record of the review process.
