How long are you allowed to keep wills under the General Data Protection Regulation? How do you enable right of access to personal data whilst you retain wills? Do you need to let third parties know if you are holding their personal data as beneficiaries? When do you need to use encryption? Do you have any unanswered questions about the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and protecting personal data that are holding back your compliance?
The Society of Will Writers and GDPR compliance platform for small business, Astrid are holding a free webinar on Wednesday 27th March to address the questions will writers have around compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
The 45 minute webinar at 1pm will be hosted by will writer and member of the Society of Will Writers Professional Standards Board, Shandip N Shah. With over 5 years’ experience in the will writing profession and a hunger for knowledge, Shandip will be putting will writers’ questions to Astrid’s Managing Director, Gerrard Fisher. Gerrard is formally trained as a GDPR practitioner and developed Astrid’s GDPR compliance tools and guidance.
Shandip says: “As will writers, we collect a lot of personal information which can include sensitive notes also. The whole GDPR issue has brought on a new challenge to our working practice but the build-up hype it seems has been forgotten. Data collection and storage is an extremely important part of our work and this is a great opportunity to get professional advice on this issue to avoid a possible challenge later on.”
Gerrard says: “Given the sensitivity of the personal data will writers handle, the consequences of non-compliance with GDPR are huge. We want to find out what issues are holding will writers back and answer as many questions as possible to help them become GDPR compliant and protect clients’ personal data as well as their own businesses. ”
If you have an unanswered query or a concern about GDPR, email hello@weareastrid.co.uk with your question and we will do our best to answer it in our webinar.
