The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) in the UK has produced a new checklist about data protection law for small business owners and sole traders. INFORMATION FOR SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS AND SMALL TRADERS In the recent past, ICO has tended to share information about rules and guidelines on data protection and privacy in such a way that it suggested a general lack of awareness by the ICO of the special needs of those who are small businesses or small traders - such as artists. I suspect they received a lot of cries for help from this quarter when GDPR was implemented earlier this year - as all guidance at one point was constructed assuming organisations had people who did this for them! The main problem for those who are running EVERY aspect of their business is to find out the answers to "what they don't know they don't know " i.e. it's difficult to know you should be doing something about some new aspect of law if you don't even know it exists! Hence the checklist is a welcome way in which the ICO is becoming a bit more attuned to the needs of sole traders - and people like artists. This is the link to How well do you comply with data protection law: an assessment for small business owners and sole traders This is what ICO have to say about what happens when you use the checklist. Use our checklist to improve your understanding of data protection and find out what you need to do to make sure you are keeping people’s personal data secure. Once you have completed the checklist a short report will be created suggesting some practical actions you can take and providing links to additional guidance you could read that will help you improve your data protection knowledge and compliance. The checklist is part of the overall set of checklists which have been developed by ICO as part of the implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation which became operative in May 2o18. Do let me know how you get on if you use it. Subscribe to Art Business Info. for Artists - NEWS by Email and receive every post via email.
