GDPR for Publishers Half-Day Workshop

Publishing Ireland was founded in 1970 as CLÉ – Irish Book Publishers’ Association  in response to the need felt by publishers to share expertise and resources in order to benefit from opportunities and solve problems which were of common concern to all.Membership of Publishing Ireland has grown significantly and comprises most of the major publishing houses in Ireland with a mixture of trade, general and academic publishers as members.Publishing Ireland is a cross-border organisation, with a Board drawn from the member companies’ staff and various committees and working groups. Publishing Ireland is run on the principles of inclusion and accountability, responding to and anticipating members’ needs.

Do you need to ask everyone to re-subscribe to mailing lists and/ or delete them by a specified date?  What measures need to be taken to protect data in hard copy? What is needed to comply with the regulation with Small business e-commerce sites? These are just some of the questions that may arise for publishers both large and small and so Publishing Ireland has teamed up with Frontier Privacy to tackle these issues and to take you through what policies and procedures you need to have in place coming up to the coming into force of the GDPR this coming May. 
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will come into force in May 2018 and is a game changer in terms of how organisations must manage and process data not least because of the scope of the GDPR but also the sizeable fines it will introduce. The GDPR will impact businesses across all industries and not only organisations with a physical presence in Europe. Even if you are based outside the EU but are processing the personal data of EU individuals in relation to offering goods/services, or monitoring the behaviour of individuals in the EU, you are also subject to its requirements
 
The GDPR introduces a two-tier system of fines, depending on the type of non-compliance –
<UL>
<LI>For the lower tier of offences, a fine up to the higher of €10,000,000 or 2% of the organisation’s total worldwide annual turnover</LI>
<LI>For the upper tier of offences, there is potential for fines up to the greater of €20,000,000 or 4% of the organisation’s total worldwide annual turnover</LI>
</UL>
