Throughout Europe, businesses are having to ensure that the customer data they have collected is compliant with the new rules. When the rules are enforced, a lot of businesses are getting data engineering services to help ensure that they stay within compliance. A lot of business owners don’t know much about collecting data so going to a professional will allow them to collect relevant data legally and responsibly.

Any organization in St. Kitts-Nevis that holds or uses data on people inside the European Union is subject to the new rules, regardless of where they are based. The GDPR will impact every website, brand, and digital ad technology company that markets to consumers in the EU. Any company that has been living under a rock till now, and is not aware of these rules, would be recommended to make haste and integrate a privacy platform into their existing workflows that can ensure that all the data traveling through the company is protected from fraud, as is the business from penalties.

Essentially the GDPR gives EU residents more control over their personal data and forces companies to make sure the way they collect, process and store data is safe. The central idea is “privacy by default.” You can read more about GDPR by clicking here.

Companies in St. Kitts MUST comply with following:
• Must get consent of the individual before you can use their data
• Must give individual ability to access the data upon request
• Must give individual ability to alter their consent and remove themselves
• Can not provide different location-based offers for different EU residents

Companies that have violated the data regulations can face penalties that amount to 4 percent of gross revenues.

The European Union said the new rules are necessary to protect consumers in an era of huge cyberattacks and data leaks. For more information please visit the following websites:
