With an increase in the amount of data being stored online, the Data Protection Act is not providing sufficient protection.

Keeping personal data for marketing and cybercrime has meant data protection for holiday parks is high priority.   To combat this, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has been approved by the European Union. Despite the UK’s decision to leave the EU, the GDPR will become UK law in May 2018 as it provides a critical need for development on existing data protection law.   “It is critically important that businesses start preparing now for the GDPR as everyone will need to use that lead-in period up to 2018 to properly prepare their business for compliance” says Jowanna Conboye, a solicitor specialising in intellectual property and information technology at Stephens Scown in Cornwall.   “Park owners and operators can really set themselves apart by showing prospective customers how aware they are of the need to protect their information. The advent of GDPR represents a great opportunity for businesses of all kinds to get their house in order.” she adds.

Data protection for Holiday Parks

As a park owner or operator, you will be held responsible if something happens to the data.

At Camping Connect, we ensure your system is legislatively compliant and fully secure. Here’s how:
