Ask HN: How do I learn GDPR?

1 pointskjerzyk6y ago1 comments

As a digital analyst, I would want to work with data knowing I follow the GDPR rules. I want to know more than the information you find in magazine articles. Are there any good courses/books on the subject - I assume that reading the actual law documents would be best, but they're written by lawyers for lawyers.

Best guide I know is the UK's ICO guide - should give you the best starting point. Read the guide to data protection on the ICO site too - GDPR is only a minor update to the old data protection regs.

If you want to read the actual law it's in pretty plain language. Between the two that should be all you need.
