Legal Expert Warns General Data Protection Regulation Will Pose Compliance Challenges for Data Brokers

Government Policy: Stricter rules on consent under the General Data Protection Regulation will make it more difficult for data brokers to sell personal data to businesses in a way that complies with the law, a legal expert from Pinsent Masons has warned. The warning comes after the Information Commissioner's Office fined a data broker £80,000 for breaching the Data Protection Act.
