Data protection during Christmastime podcast – What you need to know

As we approach Christmastime and the busy shopping season, we thought it might be helpful to provide a brief overview of some of the DPC’s guidance around the issues which crop up the most at this time of year. In this podcast, Deputy Commissioner and Head of Communications Graham Doyle takes a look at Connected Toys and Devices which you may gift or receive during the festive period, as well as the rules around E-Receipts and Direct Marketing for retailers.

We’ve also published a blog covering this topic, which is available at Data protection during Christmastime blog – what you need to know
