GDPR
General Data Protection Regulation
Background
It also addresses the export of personal data outside the EU. The GDPR aims primarily to give control back to citizens and residents over their personal data and to simplify the regulatory environment for international business by unifying the regulation within the EU.
The GDPR has been adopted on May 25th, 2016 and IS enforcable to all European Union countries since May 25th, 2018. Ref: GDPR -Wikipedia
Data Protection Authorities
Each country in EU has to legitimate its own Data Protection Authority (DPA).
These authorities are asked to monitor and enforce the GDPR in the specific country.
They are also responsible for pronouncing the fines and the place to report any breaches.
GDPR Committee
A pan-European GDPR committee has been set up. It consists of representatives from each European District
(D59, D71, D91, D95, D107, D108, D110) and a representative of Toastmasters International.
The committee is looking at issues connected with GDPR to provide help for operational implementation
and support all European toastmasters entities and their representatives in the compliant implementation of GDPR.

GDPR and easySPEAK
Most of our clubs use easySPEAK to manage the meetings and store data about the members and guests. Thanks to the efforts of Malcolm (the creator of this great tool) easySPEAK is being updated to fully support the GDPR by May 25th, 2018, and allows each club to correctly manage data about members and guests.
The Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions have been updated, and they are now also included in the Registration screen for new users and displayed, with revision date, at the foot of all pages.
GDPR foresees that everyone has the right to be forgotten by the system, which means that upon request we should be able to delete all records of that person. For that a ‘right to be forgotten’ option will soon be available, together with a ‘right to know what we keep’ option. Users are prompted to review their personal data, including privacy choices and the Privacy Policy, at least once every 12 months – you may also have noticed recently that there is a box that invites you to update your personal data with attention to its privacy settings.
