The GDPR is the General Data Protection Regulation. It is a European Union law, designed to protect the personal data and privacy of EU residents while harmonizing data protection laws across member states. It applies globally: whenever an organisation collects, stores or deals with the personal date of an EU citizen it must observe the GDPR rules. The GDPR is not covered in GRC Solutions’ Privacy Training Course. We offer a stand-alone course, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Training.
In general, the Commonwealth Privacy Act does not cover State and Local Government departments and instrumentalities. Most Australian states have their own privacy legislation that also covers local government in that state. GRC Solutions has privacy training for NSW and can quickly develop training for other states when required.
Many countries have laws that protect their citizens’ personal information. GRC Solutions has training courses that cover the law in California, China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, and South Korea.
