Bookkeeping and complying with the GDPR

CLEARANCE_FEE

I'm a sole trader who runs an eBay business and as part of the bookkeeping my accountant asks me to PDF all the PayPal transactions and at the end of the year I put these on a CD, send them to him, he does the accounts then sends them back to me. Will I be falling fowl of the GDPR by doing this?


Thanks

As your accountant is technically your employee then no, unless he does something with them, like touts for new business, which seems unlikely. You can edit the Paypal transactions to not include the email addresses, just delete that column, it will still have the customer name.

Pdf? Your accountant wants them in pdf? Doesn't he or she know that you can do a csv download of Paypal transactions.

You can load a csv file into Excel or upload it into many accounting packages.
