The EU has introduced the General Data Protection Regulation, (GDPR) which takes effect May 25, 2018.

The EU GDPR is a law designed to enhance data protection for EU residents and provide a consolidated framework to guide business usage of personal data across the EU. The GDPR also extends beyond the EU and may have implications for your organization if:

• Your company offers goods or services to individuals that are residents of the EU (i.e. EU residents on work visas/business travel to Canada)
• Your company monitors / shares any data about employees from the EU
• Your company has employees in the EU on work assignments

The GDPR comes with significant penalties for non-compliance - fines up to 20,000,000 EUR

What You Will Learn

• The GDPR “Principles” – and what they mean for international relocation services
• How privacy rights for assignees have been enhanced
• How RMCs are implementing the GDPR
• The practical implications for relocation companies and suppliers in Canada
