My understanding is there is no grace period. It starts 25th May, and affects any existing data you have. So for example, if I have 1 million users today with a weaker form of consent agreement, I need to ask them all to re-affirm a much clearer consent statement before May 25th in order to carry on similar data processing.
- danieka 9y agoWhile there may not be a grace period I think that the law allows some leeway with regards to the time it takes to become fully compliant. If you're audited but are not fully compliant it should be enough if you can show how you are working to correct the problems that you have. If for example data is stored in an inappropriate way but you've not yet had time to migrate it you will not be fined if you can show how you are working towards correcting the problem. IANAL and that.
