question

Nevertheless, GDPR came into force in 2018, still there are lots of questions and not many qualified specialists that can protect companies from paying fines and data breaches. We are sure, you can find yourself in such questions: 

  • Do I make the right steps in data protection?
  • Don’t I violate the Regulation?
  • Why do clients request to delete data?
  • Why was our app removed from the Google Play Market or the App Store?

These and other situations are a sign that it is time to take the GDPR into consideration. Data privacy is a rather serious topic, any mistake can lead to millions in fines and lose a company’s reputation. But only if the company does not have a professional who can manage the data and make business friendly for clients.  GDPR Data Privacy Professional course is not about separate pieces of information that you should learn.
