The laws govern how companies collect, store and use personal information.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Organisations who don\u2019t comply could be hit with large fines up to 4% of a company\u2019s global annual turnover or \u20ac20 million.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You might still be thinking that these EU laws only affect Europe but not New Zealand \u2013 well it\u2019s a lot more complicated than that. In fact, even if you use something common such as Google Analytics for your website tracking &#8211; you may lose website data that is 26 months old or more if you don\u2019t take immediate action steps.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why &amp; How New Zealand Businesses are Affected by GDPR<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>GDPR applies to all EU residents &#8211; even if the businesses or websites serving them are based outside of Europe.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In practice, this means that companies in New Zealand and around the globe will have to comply with GDPR if they wish to continue serving European users, otherwise they would have to build separate platforms and systems just for Europe &#8211; which is not feasible and would probably not work well with the internet\u2019s intertwined nature.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You might have already come across many instances of businesses taking action steps towards complying with GDPR such as new privacy policies, terms &amp; conditions or consent forms being rolled out from Microsoft, Google, Spotify, Quora, Mashable, Udemy, Discord, GoDaddy, LinkedIn, and more.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The end result of the GDPR will most likely mean that users will have more transparency and control over how their data is collected and used whether they reside in Europe or not.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">GDPR Requirements<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Some of the main <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cyber-duck.co.uk\/insights\/resources\/gdpr-checklist\">GDPR regulations<\/a> includes:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><strong>Explicit Consent<\/strong> \u2013 which must be obtained from European users when collecting data on them. The user must opt-in and voluntarily agree to a clear statement that explains how their data is being used.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Privacy Settings<\/strong> \u2013 users by should be given the strictest privacy setting by default and will then have to manually make changes.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Access to User Data<\/strong> \u2013 Users will have increased rights over their data, and will be able to access where, why and how their data is processed (companies are expected to honour requests within 4 weeks).<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>\u2018The Right to Be Forgotten\u2019<\/strong> \u2013 which means that EU residents can have their data completed deleted from systems if it is no longer relevant.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Five GDPR Action Steps NZ Businesses May Need to Take<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>As an NZ organisation serving users around the globe it may be best to do the following tasks:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make Google Analytics GDPR Ready<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Google emailed all analytics customers last month telling them that they have to \u201creview these data retention settings and modify as needed\u201d before 25<sup>th<\/sup> of May 2018 when GDPR becomes enforced. You may have logged in and seen this pop-up:<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-28830 size-full alignnone lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/pureseo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/GDPR-Data-Retention-Google-Analytics-Notice.jpg\" alt=\"GDPR-Data-Retention-Google-Analytics-Notice\" width=\"601\" height=\"414\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 601px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 601\/414;\"><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>This is essentially Google putting the GDPR compliance requirement on its users (website owners) and not on themselves. It also means that Google will automatically delete all data that is older than the default setting (which appears to be 26 months).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>If you want to retain your data it&#8217;s best to change the setting now so that data does not expire.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Update Your Privacy Policy<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This should explain how you collect and use data, and which third party service providers you share that info with. It should also cover processes in which users can obtain and delete any stored data you have on them.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Add a banner to your website<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you use cookies, remarketing ads or tracking codes such as Facebook Pixel you\u2019ll need explicit consent \u2013 you might want to add a banner or pop-up that links to your terms and conditions for more info and has the user clicking an accept button.
