The European Union’s new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which takes impacts to every business for that markets and sells goods or services to EU residents online, even if the company has no physical presence within the EU. The GDPR imposes extensive obligations on any U.S. business, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which directly or indirectly collects or processes EU consumers’ personal data. Economic penalties for non-compliance can be severe. The GDPR will substantially increase privacy and security obligations with respect to EU resident data transfers, along with potentially draconian penalties well beyond those of the Privacy Shield. Under GDPR, “personal data” is very broadly defined to include a person’s name, address, phone, and email, as well as their economic, social, cultural, genetic and mental characteristics.

Both IS and IT tend to be dominated by logical thinkers. To succeed in either field, you have to be able to devote yourself to solving a problem. IT is a wide-ranging term that describes the technological transfer, storage, and accessibility of information. IT encompasses hardware, software, databases, and networks. The emphasis of IT is to manage technology and help users make the most of its functionality. An information system is a type of platform or collection of platforms that exist to manage a set of information or a technology product. For instance, the hardware and software used to create, maintain and access an electronic health record is an information system. The computers, hard drives and other electronic devices used to store, keep and distribute patient records are part of the system. These electronic devices on their own may be referred to as an information technology system, even though they’re part of a particular information system.

Many current Privacy Policies can simply be adjusted and updated to be made more specific to account for the changes required by the GDPR. At the same time, this may present a good opportunity to completely rewrite your Privacy Policy if it is outdated or you see areas for improvement.
