I’ve come across several hurdles at work and as a customer regrading GDPR. Is there any clear document that spells out what it is and how a customer/business needs to respond?

    How can you be responsible for dealing with data requests yet be unaware of GDPR? Does your employer have any idea of your lack?
    Don’t be a can’t, be a can.

    GDPR is the replacement excuse for elf'n'safety when not wanting to do something. It's in every modern manager's repertoire.
