Get to grips with GDPR

Swayne Johnson Solicitors in North Wales can help you and your business get to grips with the oncoming GDPR legislation. Swayne Johnson’s data protection specialist solicitors are holding an array of completely free workshops in the North Wales area. It is the intention of these workshops to provide free advice which will enable business owners and key employees to face the oncoming European directive without feeling like you want to bury your head in the sand at the thought of it.

Very many businesses across North Wales and beyond feel intimidated by the oncoming GDPR regulations, and it’s never been more important for business owners, managers and HR to learn what exactly is required from businesses, and what isn’t required. We notice that there are two ways of which businesses are looking at GDPR- either to ignore it altogether or make adjustments here, there and everywhere in a blind (and completely unhelpful) panic.

Swayne Johnson Solicitors’ GDPR Free Workshops can allow you to identify things that need to be changed, and things which don’t need to be changed in order to make positive changes to the way your business keeps data, and allow you to go into GDPR with your eyes open.

GDPR is nothing to be frightened of, nor is it something which can be ignored. It’s easy to dismiss GDPR as something which isn’t worth consideration – but nothing could be further from the truth. This directive is set to replace the Data Protection laws in the UK, as when these laws were formed, the internet was very much in its infancy.

Large data hoarding, collection, and selling was not something which was done. When the Data Protection laws were formulated, they didn’t take into consideration the media of which we use today, and the GDPR directive essentially aims to eliminate unsolicited data keeping.

Either way, there will be changes. Swayne Johnson Solicitors allow you to make the changes you need to, and can advise you against making changes which you shouldn’t.

Living in Rhos on Sea

Rhos on Sea is fast becoming one of the most desirable places to live in North Wales. This town is very well known for its row of seafront properties (the most recent of which is Brenig Homes’ Gwynt y Mor – new build apartments for sale in Rhos on Sea which are a hop, skip and a jump away from the seafront.) This quiet little bay is not the first place you’d think of when you imagine the North Wales coastline, but this little town boasts peace, quiet, and an air of exclusivity compared to nearby Llandudno and Colwyn Bay. There’s nothing wrong with either town of course – but Rhos is a lovely little place that is right next to the sea and just between both of these popular towns. This means that the seaside town has close proximity to the tourist trap of Llandudno without being in the thick of it- allowing property owners peace and quiet on a year-around basis as well as the same stunning views which make people flock to Llandudno every single year. Of course, that’s

The Financial Implications of Divorce

When there are issues in your relationship which mean that something has to change, sometimes it can be hard to. There are all manner of uncertainties that divorce brings – and it can feel like a painful and expensive failure to give up on a marriage. The old adage “Better the devil you know” certainly comes to mind when you’re going through a divorce, and it can be tempting to give up on the idea of getting a divorce for these reasons, even if it means putting up with a truly bleak situation. One of the ways which people can put off getting a divorce is worries about finances. Financial concerns are very real when it comes to a divorce, and one, or both parties can often feel like they have the short end of the stick when it comes to the final arrangement. Add in a solicitors cut to that, and it can feel to both sides that they have been short changed. Rightly so, people do feel resentful that a cut out of the money two parties are arguing over is going to a third party. There are
