A New Era of Data Protection

Everyone leaves a digital footprint; that’s why everyone is affected by data protection.

The EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into effect in May, which provides a strict universal set of Data Protection rules for any organisation operating within the EU. The aim of the new regulations is to protect all EU citizens from misuse of private and personal data equally and discreetly.  

Here at Fitwise, we’ve been gearing up for the introduction of GDPR for months. Our interdepartmental panel has been ironing out all the kinks with legal professionals so that, when May arrives, our clients and our event attendees can rest easy knowing that their sensitive date will be handled with care.

We won’t bore you with everything we’ve been up to behind the scenes but if you want to find out more, visit the EU’s official GPDR site (https://www.eugdpr.org/). Alternatively, the International Commissioner’s Office have released a useful checklist which provides a more digestible guide to the new laws and how to get prepared (https://ico.org.uk/media/1624219/preparing-for-the-gdpr-12-steps.pdf).

Fitwise are ready; are you?

Sammy Dalrymple

Sales Campaign Executive

Email: Samantha.Dalrymple@Fitwise.co.uk

Sammy has recently joined Fitwise as a Sales Campaign Executive bringing over six years of sales experience with her. Being organised and having meticulous attention to detail are some of the strengths she brings to the team, along with the ability to juggle a mix of projects at the same time.

What do you enjoy doing outside of work?

Outside of work, Sammy is a wife, mum, and dog mum. She enjoys spending her days off with family, enjoying brunch with the girls or travelling the UK attending various music gigs and festivals. After a long day or a busy weekend, her favourite way to unwind is cuddling up on the sofa with her beloved Dudley – a wonderfully crusty old Border Collie.

 

Favourite place in the world?

Sammy aims to take at least one holiday in the sun, and one city break each year. Her favourite holiday so far has been a family trip to Tenerife where she visited Siam Park, went scuba diving with a ‘shark’ (a 10-inch bath toy) and befriended a capuchin monkey – the perfect highlight for someone who is totally animal obsessed.

 
Sammy is looking forward to gaining more skill and knowledge in the events industry and working alongside a great team!
