Data Protection Obligations

Trading Software Limited does not, indeed cannot, maintain responsibility for the data its customers hold about their customers, suppliers and other contacts.

We recommend that our customers review the requirements of Data Protection regulations.

Please feel free to get in touch with us, here at TSL, if there is anything we can do to help.

Getting ready for the GDPR

Data Protection law is changing on 25 May 2018 and organisations need to be ready for the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).  The ICO has produced a package of tools and resources to help you get ready.

Changes to data protection are due this year. The ICO (Information Commissioners Office) have issued guidelines for business.

Here is a link to the ICO's web page for organisations: Link
