Welcome back to part two of the season finale of Absolute Clarity season three! The number one travel management podcast brought to you by Clarity, the business travel experts. Following on from our recent discussion into privacy and data, we welcome back Owen Coombes alongside Matt Gatenby and Luke Golding from Travlaw to answer the question, does anyone even care about GDPR anymore? From networking breakfasts to a rise in GDPR consultants, businesses spent months fearing those four letters that meant a plethora of changes for their data. But was it a success? Or did we let fear guide more than our policies? We then look at a few examples of companies that have dropped the ball when it comes to GDPR and whether they managed to pick it up again or trip over it... repeatedly! Don't forget, you can get involved by tweeting us @Clarity_BT using #AbsoluteClarity For more information on Travlaw and how they can help your business, visit their website - http://www.travlaw.co.uk/ Want to watch The Journey?
