2nd and 3rd busting myths from the ICO
Myth #2
You must have consent if you want to process personal data.
Fact:
The GDPR is raising the bar to a higher standard for consent.
Myth #3
I can’t start planning for new consent rules until the ICO’s formal guidance is published.
Fact:
I know many people are waiting for us to publish our final guidance on consent. Businesses want certainty and assurance of harmonised rules. Waiting until Europe-wide consent guidelines have been agreed before we publish our final guidance is key to ensuring consistency. The current timetable is December.
The ICO’s blog on consent is not the silver bullet for GDPR compliance
