Have questions about the personal data you handle at work? Contact your Data Protection Leader. Under the CIG Privacy Policy, every department is required to have a Data Protection Leader (DPL) who has operational responsibility for data protection. This includes drafting and maintaining policies and privacy notices, providing training and awareness sessions, handling personal data breaches, processing data protection related requests or complaints from the public, and being your go-to person for all things data protection at work. As practitioners, DPLs participate in 15-hour specialised training courses. Interested in becoming a DPL or learning more about what they do? Check out the DPL Guide.
