MORE than 60 people came along to an event at the Burnham Chamber of Commerce.

The chamber hosted the event on General Data Protection Regulation, sponsored by D&S Interiors, was held at the Royal Corinthian Yacht club on March 27.

This was the second event organised by the chamber this year, highlighting how general data protection regulation will have an impact on how businesses will be able to process and hold personal data once it comes into force on May 25.

It also included an exhibition of member businesses and the opportunity to network.

Adele Bovingdon, chairman of the chamber, said: “It was another very successful event with a number of businesses keen to find out more about how GDPR will affect their business and there was a lot of positive feedback from those who attended on how informative the session was.

“We hope that those who attend will see the many benefits in joining the chamber or sponsoring its events, as it is these financial contributions we rely on to continue to run these helpful sessions free of charge.”

The next event will be held in May, focussing on cyber security.
