Frequently Asked Questions

XpertDPO is a data security, governance, risk and compliance, GDPR and ISO consultancy that offers practical, tailor-made solutions.

What is the GDPR?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies from 25 May 2018. It has general application to the processing of personal data in the EU, setting out more extensive obligations on data controllers and processors, and providing strengthened protections for data subjects. Although the GDPR is directly applicable as a law in all Member States, it allows for certain issues to be given further effect in national law. In Ireland, the national law, which, amongst other things, gives further effect to the GDPR, is the Data Protection Act 2018.

What is personal data?

The GDPR defines ‘personal data’ as any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified, in particular by reference to an identifier. This definition provides for a wide range of personal identifiers to constitute personal data, including name, identification number, location data or online identifier, reflecting changes in technology and the way organisations collect information about people.

Who must comply with the GDPR

Any organization that processes the personal data of people in the EU must comply with the GDPR. “Processing” is a broad term that covers just about anything you can do with data: collection, storage, transmission, analysis, etc. “Personal data” is any information that relates to a person, such as names, email addresses, IP addresses, eye colour, political affiliation, and so on. Even if an organization is not connected to the EU itself, if it processes the personal data of people in the EU (via tracking on its website, for instance), it must comply. The GDPR is also not limited to for-profit companies.

What is a data controller and who is the data controller?

Data controllers are a person or organisation who (alone or with others) determines the purposes for which and the manner in which any personal data are, or are to be, processed. A data controller can be the sole data controller or a joint data controller with another person or organisation. However, when services are provided directly by private hospital, voluntary hospitals, agencies or private contractors, the private hospital, voluntary hospital, agency or private contractor may be the data controller
