Data Protection law in the UK will undergo some significant changes with the introduction of the General Data Protection Regulation (commonly referred to as the GDPR). The GDPR will replace the current Data Protection Act from 25 May 2018. (The Government has confirmed that “Brexit” will not affect the GDPR from coming into effect so you cannot ignore it.) The changes require some forward planning and may require changes in your forms and procedures.

These guidance notes give an overview of how the GDPR is likely to apply to SAA clubs. The uses you make (and want to make) of the information about living individuals which you obtain will be governed by the GDPR and we recommend that you adopt now the policies and procedures you will need under the GDPR.
