Charities have their own admin to deal with and regulatory obligations can sometimes prove challenging.
The Regulatory Authority has held a Data Protection Workshop for Gibraltar-registered charities. Sponsored by the Kusuma Trust, It aims to empower charities with knowledge and skills.
We live in a world of data-it's being crunched in the background of everything we do. The protection of this data is important. Charities collect Special category data like financial or medical. They then need to manage it.
Charities rely on reputation as people would be reluctant to part with their money otherwise. There also has to be a relationship of trust especially when dealing with those feeling particularly vulnerable. Keeping up to speed with regulation is crucial but can be challenging.
The GRA has an enquiries line and is happy to give anyone wanting advice on data protection- a steer.
