Quiet week so far on that front. We have engaged a third party expert body to come in and carry out a review. I expect this will become a massive ball ache as my boss is quite afraid of all this stuff and I am very sure it will fall to me. He referred to me last week as a Data Protection Champion which I have to be honest caused me to get vexed but I buttoned my lip.
I know his game you see, if he was to formally recognise me as DPO then he may assume I would be looking for more money in recognition of said responsibility. I would not for the record.
You may need to carry out a review of the data on Sales Force, privacy impact assessments and so forth.
The whole thing is a mess, it is worse than starting Giroud up front in an important game.
Yes and he/she is free to perform their duties independently and free of interference (or influence) from management.
In fact a DPO cannot be dismissed during the course of his/her tenure other than in cases of gross misconduct and/or simply refusing to or being incapable of performing the duties.
In summary you can raise awareness of and create a shítstorm of hassle for your employer and not be kicked out on that basis.
I saw Lou Reed there in 1984. New Sensations Tour, I think!
He was **** by then.
