Even though GDPR can seem confusing (and even terrifying for some of us!), this document pack will save oodles of time poring over ICO pages. With a healthy respect for data protection policies, we have done as much of the heavy lifting as possible, through trainings, research and legal advice so that you can just tweak a few highlighted areas and get on with providing therapy.
