Data Protection 2013 - 180 days to save your industry

On 8 January 2013, the EU announced a number of proposed changes to the draft EU Data Protection Regulation that have turned matters from bad to worse for companies whose business depends conversations through direct channels with customers to drive sales.

Protect your industry, protect your business

The EU's announcement has made data protection an urgent priority for businesses: the clock is now ticking on a 180-day countdown till the draft Regulation starts to pass through the European Parliament.

In response to the looming threat, the DMA is hosting a half-day conference on Friday 8 February that will give you the lowdown on how the EU Data Protection Regulation stands to impact the direct marketing industry, how it could adversely affect your business and how you can respond to the threat.
