A Practical Guide to GDPR for Property Professionals - 2nd Edition


Book Description

The General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) have seen a big shake up in the management and handling of personal data across Europe. They have also been a beacon for other jurisdictions which are rolling out their own similar personal data protection rules. For businesses however, GDPR has been complex and often confusing. There have been conflicting views and guidance has often been delayed and confusing. For the property sector, GDPR has been particularly difficult, due to the movement of data between property owners, agents, legal professionals and tenants or purchasers for a range of different purposes. This confusion has only been enhanced by Brexit and the increasing divergence between the UK and the EU over data protection. This book aims to cut through the confusion by clearly explaining what the GDPR is, how it works, and how it applies to property transactions of all types coupled with a range of clear, accessible examples to illustrate the GDPR operating in practice.

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)


Book Description

This new book provides an article-by-article commentary on the new EU General Data Protection Regulation. Adopted in April 2016 and applicable from May 2018, the GDPR is the centrepiece of the recent reform of the EU regulatory framework for protection of personal data. It replaces the 1995 EU Data Protection Directive and has become the most significant piece of data protection legislation anywhere in the world. The book is edited by three leading authorities and written by a team of expert specialists in the field from around the EU and representing different sectors (including academia, the EU institutions, data protection authorities, and the private sector), thus providing a pan-European analysis of the GDPR. It examines each article of the GDPR in sequential order and explains how its provisions work, thus allowing the reader to easily and quickly elucidate the meaning of individual articles. An introductory chapter provides an overview of the background to the GDPR and its place in the greater structure of EU law and human rights law. Account is also taken of closely linked legal instruments, such as the Directive on Data Protection and Law Enforcement that was adopted concurrently with the GDPR, and of the ongoing work on the proposed new E-Privacy Regulation.
