Seriously. it’s worth BILLIONS of dollars worldwide. You’d be surprised how much of it you give away for free too, every time you do one of those online quizzes. You know the ones: “Which Celebrity Pupper does your pet look like?” & “We can tell your true age from JUST your date of birth!” and the like.

Luckily, there’s a modern, tailor-made set of regulations in place to help you keep your personal information to yourself. It’s called the GDPR, and this course explains it to you in the least boring way possible. Every organisation has a legal requirement to keep whatever data they do collect safe.
