GDPR: putting the people back into the equation

“For the maritime industry, [GDPR] is a particular challenge”, Burling said in an interview. “For example, port agents can be appointed at very short notice, and if you have a crew member that needs to be taken off the vessel because they are ill, that is special category data – health data –, which will be transferred to someone outside the EEA if the port happens to be, let’s say, in the Middle East. So maritime organisations need to think about how to make all of these processes legitimate.”

In this presentation, Burling explains the main concepts of GDPR, and the do’s and don’ts when it comes to data.
