Protection law
with our data (use and access) ACT Course
Are you overwhelmed or confused by the many changes being introduced in the new Data (Use and Access) Act (DUA Act)? Do you need an expert’s guidance on what the various amendments mean, and how this will affect your organisation?
If so, take this DUA Act course. It’s designed to go through the numerous changes made to existing legislation by this new Act, and the specific actions your organisation will need to take in order to keep up with constantly evolving data protection law. For example, the DUA Act introduces changes to regulations relating to:
- Automated decision-making and AI
- Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) response
- Use of data for scientific research
- Cookies and direct marketing
- International data transfers
This course will give you a comprehensive understanding of the changes the new Act makes to the current data protection legislation and PECR, arming you with the knowledge your organisation needs to maintain its compliance once it takes full effect.
You will be encouraged to ask questions throughout, and can share your real-world experiences with other attendees, discussing issues and ideas to help them within their role. You’ll also talk through real-life practice scenarios to aid with your learning, giving you a proper hands-on approach.
When you train with us at DPAS, you’ll get more than just the training. We’ll provide you with free policies, templates, and tools after the course has concluded. We will also supply you with the relevant resources to help you throughout.
