Lack of clarity about GDPR risks for entrepreneurs
The new AVG privacy law is being violated on a massive scale, more than a hundred days after its introduction. ‘Companies have good intentions but are confused by the complicated legal terms,’ says Saida Nhass senior consultant at risk advisor AON.
According to Nhass, confusion mainly arises about the terms ‘processor’ and ‘controller’ about the personal data. “Many companies assign themselves the wrong role, which means they violate the law.” Because the GDPR causes uncertainty in more countries, including in Belgium, Nhass advocates working together to make the law clearer.
