On the 25th May 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into effect. In Ireland, GDPR has been given legislative effect in the new Data Protection Act 2018.
This new legislation updates the current law in relation to data protection and seeks to strengthen and unify data protection for all individuals within the European Union including Ireland. It grants new and enhanced rights for all individuals in relation to their own personal information. An individual about whom data is held by an organisation is referred to as a data subject.
Mayo, Sligo and Leitrim Education & Training Board (MSLETB) is the state education and training authority for the Mayo, Sligo and Leitrim region established by the Education and Training Boards Act 2013.
To fulfil its statutory obligations MSLETB gathers, stores and processes large amounts of data on a variety of data subjects. This would include students, learners, staff, third parties and members of the public. This personal data can range from some personal details and CCTV footage to financial transactions. Personal data is any data that permits an individual to be identified.
MSLETB is committed to a policy of protecting the rights and freedoms of individuals with respect to the processing of their personal data.
The Data Protection regulations and legislation require the staff of MSLETB to process data fairly and to ensure the security of that data
GDPR therefore:
Also under the new legislation the digital age of consent has been set at 16. This means that social media and other online companies will need parental consent where they wish to use the personal data of a child under the age of 16 for marketing purposes or for creating personality profiles.
