In today’s podcast we will talk about what the GDPR is, why it doesn’t just effect the EU, what the impact is on nonprofits and on grant writing consultants, and give you some free downloadable templates.Now, some of you may be scratching your heads when I mention GDPR. Although, if you are in the EU, then you have probably been running around like it’s Y2K. Remember the turn of the century panic? Yep, I hear it’s a lot like that. But chances are, you have seen an increase of emails in your inbox over the last week with companies or people asking you to check a box giving them permission to email you or asking if you’d like to remain on their email lists. This is all due to the new European regulations or GDPR.The pure IT nature of this regulation makes it a global concept at the very least. Rashmi Knowles, chief technology officer at RSA Security states that “GDPR is interesting because it is the first time that the EU is exporting regulation. In the past, everything created by the EU applied to the EU. Now we have this regulation, but it is going to apply globally. If anybody wants to use the data of EU citizens or consumers, they have to comply, so it is exporting privacy rules to other countries.”In today's podcast you get great tips on how to be GDPR compliant for your nonprofit or grant writing company, plus free privacy policy templates, and links.
