We are FCC - Nº6

On May 25th, the new European Data Protection legislation came into force, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which brings with it countless changes that imply, in many cases, a change in the way we work, which may affect the way each of us works, since compliance with it is also part of our responsibili- ty as an employee. This Regulation has drastically in- creased the financial penalties, the amounts of which can reach up to €20,000,000 or up to 4% of the total annual turnover of the previous finan- cial year, whichever is greater. The- refore, we must join forces to ensure New Data Protection Regulations that the FCC Group and each of its employees comply with it. The management of the FCC Group’s Information Systems and Technolo- gies Division has been working on a project to adapt it to the European Data Protection Regulations, and the Group’s employees have been infor- med weekly about this new regulation in order let them know the changes that this regulation entails. The new Regulation establishes six FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES that must govern all processing of per- sonal data. Therefore, any employee who manages personal data must: a) Treat them in a lawful, fair and transparent manner - complying with the requirements of the GDPR (“principle of legality, fairness and transparency”). b) Collect them for specified purpo- ses and not further process them in a manner incompatible with tho- se purposes (“purpose limitation principle”). c) Process only data that are adequa- te, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purpo- ses for which they are processed (“data minimisation principle”).
