General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

Information about data protection

One of the biggest changes to UK data privacy law came into effect on 25 May 2018

The UK Data Protection Act 2018 - also known as General Data Protection Regulation - gives you more control over how your data is used and how you’re contacted. It also means that organisations like ours must review how we manage your personal data and in turn, how you manage girls' or volunteers’ data.
