GDPR HELP FOR SMALL BUSINESSES From May small businesses will need to be GDPR-ready. What does thismean?
The way companies communicate with their users, and how they handle and process the information they hold about their users, will soon need to change. This is so all company practice falls in line with new GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) guidelines. The guidelines are EU-led, but identical guidelines will almost certainly be written into post-Brexit UK legislation. Read more: GDPR help for small businesses GDPR - ARE YOU READY? You’re probably aware of the upcoming GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) deadline (and if you’re not, you really should be). But will how you hold, share and use information be fit for purpose once that deadline has passed? Read more: GDPR - are you ready? CHILD-FRIENDLY FACEBOOK TERMS AND CONDITIONS The children’s commissioner for England, Anne Longfield, has produced ‘child-friendly’ plain English versions of Facebook’s terms and conditions.

Many users of those sites probably still don’t realize how their images and footage might be used once posted online. Read more: Child-friendly Facebook Terms and Conditions THE INTERNET CRYSTAL MARK – WHY YOU NEED ONE A website that puts obstacles in front of its audience is not doing its job properly. Get rid of any on your website, and get our Crystal Mark accreditation to boot. Obviously, easy-to-understand text is very important.
