What is GDPR? (General Data Protection Regulation)
DO NOT TAKE GDPR LIGHTLY
Your Business Depends on Your Decisions
If you’ve logged in lately into any big-name website. Google, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Basecamp, Freshdesk… Everyone, yes, everyone has updated their Terms of service and have made changes to the website according to the requirements of GDPR.
They’ve covered themselves, but have you?
If the answer is no, you’re running a serious risk.
GDPR does not require you to be a European citizen, or for you to be a European based business to find you guilty and impose a violation.
Nope, they can do it even if you’re located across the Pacific ocean and have absolutely no care what’s happening in France.
You don’t even have to sell anything to European customers.
If European people can surf your site (can you stop them?), you are liable to adhere to GDPR rules.
You can’t escape it either. Nope… Because like it or not, Australia has a legal agreement about law enforcement with EU and all other larger countries. So you’ll have to face the consequences.
CAVEAT: If You're a LOCAL ONLY Business
If you're a local business and clearly ONLY service local folk, like a plumber, mechanic or any number of TRUE LOCAL businesses and it's obvious you're unlikely to ever service clients in Europe, then it's equally unlikely some bozo from the GDPR Police will enforce the GDPR on you...
BUT
At a MINIMUM we recommend 'Cookie Consent' if you use a Facebook Pixel or Google Analytics
(Ask me if you're not sure 08 9439 2820)
Here are the Consequences of not being GDPR compliant:
Receive Fine
Fine of up to Europ 20 Million or 4% of your global revenue. Whichever is GREATER
Can't Monetize EU
Not being able to monetize EU based customers through ads or other means.
Incur Legal Costs
Severe legal costs and hassles that will stop you from focusing on your business.
Can't Sell to EU
Not being able to sell to customers from EU or serve them in any other way.
Does GDPR Sound Like a Nightmare?
It is! If You’re Not Compliant Today, You’re Not Ready For Business
The worst (or best if you’re an end-user) is that it pins liability on businesses of all sizes. Not just giants like Facebook and Google, but really small players like me and you too.
There’s no escaping GDPR, we HAVE to confirm. There’s NO OPTION. Not if you want to stay in business.
Everybody has to take the journey to GDPR compliance, no matter how small you are, no matter how difficult it is, and no matter how much effort it takes. If you’re running a business that’s online, you’ll need to be GDPR compliant.
Here’s Your Compliance Plan
-
One
Study reams of documents to understand what’s required and sign on board an expensive lawyer just to make sure.
-
Two
Design processes, systems and workflows to adhere to the compliance requirements.
-
Three
Hire a top coder to create the systems and programming necessary to implement the compliance measures on to your site.
-
Four
Work with your experts on a continuous basis to make sure you’re actually legally covered and to do the actions required for GDPR compliance.
Shucks! This is crazy. It’s expensive, it’s time consuming, and if you do this you better say goodbye to your business because you’ll have no time left to do anything profitable.
There has to be an easier way! Right?
