Penny H.
While I had a basic understanding of GDPR, this course has provided me with a much more in-depth knowledge base and how I can implement the lessons learned into my working life and also take consideration on a personal level, i.e., how I wish my own personal data to be used when using websites or social media or other data collectible 'entities'. Thank you!
