Understanding the GDPR

Protect Your Business and Your Customers' Data

The GDPR applies to your business. But where do you actually start?

Most guides either drown you in legal jargon or stay so vague they leave you with more questions than answers. This one is different - because it was written by someone who has been on both sides of the desk.

Fanny Cornette holds a doctorate in law and has taught data protection to entrepreneurs for over 15 years. She is also a business owner herself. She knows exactly where small business owners get stuck - and wrote this book to get you unstuck.
