Personal data and GDPR responsibility
Personal data and GDPR responsibility
So what do we mean by personal data? This is any information relating to an individual and includes but not limited to:
- Names, address and telephone numbers
- Payment details
- Age and date of birth
- Salary and data regarding education and qualifications
- Login details
- Any other information that could be used to identify an individual
As a pharmacy you will process personal data such as prescriptions or information collected via services you provide therefore you must comply with GDPR.
Whilst you may not be the person with overall responsibility for ensuring compliance with GDPR (this will be the owner of the business), the principles of GDPR, data protection and confidentiality apply to us all and compliance is everybody's responsibility.
