What Are the GDPR Regulations?
On 25th May 2018 the EU-wide General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into force. The new regulation is enshrined in English law under a new Data Protection Act (2018) and will remain unchanged post-Brexit.
GDPR sets out your rights regarding your personal information, how organisations should carry out direct marketing and how you can access information from public authorities. For further information, click this link to the website of the ICO – Information Commisioner’s Office.
Who is World Wide Walkies?
I am a hobby blogger who writes about adventure travel, dogs, caravanning, skiing, windsurfing and giving it all up to Live the Dream!
I do not make money from this site; in fact I PAY money to keep it live. I spend hours, sometimes weeks and months writing posts because, like Elizabeth Reyes, I MUST!
“I write because I MUST! It’s not a choice or a pastime, it’s an unyielding calling and my passion.” – Elizabeth Reyes
I am just overjoyed that others enjoy reading my stories as much as I enjoy writing them.
