Change in privacy

laws- GDPR

Detailed notes by Will, Oscar, and Hannah

What is GDPR
GDPR stands for General Data Protection
Regulation. This a regulation in EU law that allows
the protection of data and privacy for all
individuals within the european union. It also
however addresses the export of data outside the
european union.
 What has recently changed due
to GDPR in the EU
● Increased territorial scope - extended jurisdiction of the GDPR, as
it applies to all companies processing the personal data of data subjects
residing in the Union, regardless of the company’s location.

● Penalties - Under GDPR organizations in breach of GDPR can be fined

up to 4% of annual global turnover or €20 Million (whichever is greater).

● Consent - The terms and conditions for consent have now be

strengthened and companies will no longer be allowed to use the terms and
conditions. The consent laws now have to be “intelligible and easily
accessible form” and have to be “clear and distinguishable from other
matters”

New changes to
PRIVACY on 3 different
applications Applications
Facebook
Snapchat
Snapchat
Snapchat has also gone under some new updates in regards
to privacy. Snapchat inc have announced that they won’t keep
as much data and information about users who are under the
age of 16. However, if the business decides they want to get /
use this information form under 16 yr olds, they have to gain
permission form a parent or guardian. Users under the age of
16 are still allowed to use the application along side the
mature users, however, things such as location details (Snap
maps) will not be collected and used by Snapchat.
 The key change to Facebook with their new updates in
regards to GDPR mean that users can change their privacy
settings. Facebook have changed the way users can
access their privacy settings through a new menus system.
Another change which Facebook has gone through is that

Facebook they have added another shortcut to the main menu where
the user is now able to activate their two-factor
authentication.

The key update which facebook is releasing is that users

are now able to download your personal data. This now
means that the user can safely and securely manage
information and what you have shared on Facebook.
