Another crucial brick in the foundation of professional responsibility. A new addition to the KYOCERA ACADEMY certificate collection — successfully completed the course and passed the test on Personal Data Protection.
In an era where data is the new currency and GDPR & local regulations are a stark reality, this is not just a formality. It’s about understanding the rules of the game on a global field.
The course provided clear, actionable knowledge:
What constitutes personal data in different jurisdictions.
Principles of lawful processing: why, how, and on what basis we collect data from clients, partners, candidates.
Practical security measures: from company policies to technical settings.
What to do in case of a breach (yes, it’s better to be prepared).
For a marketer, this knowledge is a superpower. It enables you to:
Build honest and transparent communication with your audience.
Legitimately collect data for personalization without crossing boundaries.
Develop campaigns and tools (e.g., website forms) that are “by the book” from the start.
Speak the same language as lawyers and DPOs (Data Protection Officers).
The days of simply scraping an email list and blasting spam are over. Today, respect for privacy is part of a strong brand’s DNA and a mark of professionalism.
Now I know not only how to capture attention but also how to protect trust. This is a mandatory skill for anyone working in digital.
