The IOPD would like to bring to your attention that on the 25th May 2018 the General Data Protection Regulation came into force. Many of the old Data Protection concepts remain the same but there are some new elements. (Full details can be found online as this new law may affect your Organisation and record keeping). Any Organisation not seen to be complying with this legislation can be heavily fined.
The IOPD is registered with ICO (the Information Commissioner’s Office) and have a valid certificate to show we comply, with the reasons for having your information on file
The information you provide to the IOPD when you fill in your initial Application Form, subsequent Renewal / Extension Notices (whether non paper or on line) requests made through the website and relevant emails are held on file and on the computer in order that we can administer and service your needs.
