About this Operational Forum
Beyond GDPR: What the Data (Use and Access) Act Means for Our Sector
2025 has seen the biggest changes to UK data protection laws since GDPR. The Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 is now on the statute books and will both introduce new requirements and change existing ones. Join us for a webinar looking specifically at what the reforms mean for retirement community operators and the practical impact of them. A specialist data protection lawyer will help you understand what the changes are, what they mean for the sector, what you should do and when.
What we will cover:
- How you can take advantage of the more relaxed rules on AI and automated decision making
- How the Act applies to Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs) and what the new statutory “reasonable and proportionate” standard means
- What the new requirement to have a data protection complaints mechanism means for you
- The relaxation of cookie laws
- The increased fines for electronic marketing
- The timetable for the changes
Why Attend:
- Understand what’s changing and what is business as usual
- Hear from a data protection expert
- Get practical advice tailored to the retirement community sector
