Suzi Sendama, Associate in Mishcon Private, talks to the Society of British and International Design (SBID) about the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) rules that will be enforced on the 25 May and highlights what it will mean for businesses.

Understanding the risks and privacy impact of each data type will enable you to better protect your organisation and your data subjects.
