93. GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION (GDPR) - Jack’s Japa Empowerment - Diaspora Handbook - Olayinka Carew - Rita Nnamani

93. GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION (GDPR)




The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) may sound like a dry legal term, but it is one of the most crucial pieces of law to grasp in the UK, particularly for foreigners.  GDPR focusses on how personal data is gathered, stored, and used.  This has an impact on both your personal and professional life.  If you work in any capacity that requires you to handle consumer information, whether in healthcare, education, housing, retail, Affiliate Marketing, or administration, you must be aware of these standards in order to avoid legal issues and fines.

GDPR grants individuals rights over their personal information.  Organisations must inform you of how your data will be used, and you have the right to obtain a copy of what they have on file about you, request adjustments, or even demand that it be deleted.  This is especially critical for immigrants because they may share sensitive information with employers, landlords, schools, and government institutions.  Knowing your rights can help you avoid the misuse of your data.

GDPR is a reality for professionals in the workplace.  If you handle other people's personal information (names, addresses, bank accounts, medical records), you must adhere to tight restrictions.  Breaching these restrictions, even by accident, can result in significant fines for your employer and disciplinary action against you. This is why many workplaces provide GDPR training, and you should take it seriously.

Scammers can take advantage of people's lack of understanding about GDPR by pretending to be officials gathering data.  They may use bogus emails or phone calls to deceive you into disclosing information.  If you understand GDPR, you will know that reputable companies will never pressure you to provide personal information unless there is a clear, valid reason.

Essentially, GDPR gives you control over your personal data while also requiring you to protect the information of others.  Whether you're filling out forms or handling customer records, remember that it's both your protection and your obligation.

75. DON’T BE OVERLY TRUSTING - Jack’s Japa Empowerment - Diaspora Handbook - Jack Lookman Limited - Rita Nnamani - Olayinka Carew

75. DON’T BE OVERLY TRUSTING Relocating overseas exposes you to many new situations and individuals.  It’s natural to be overly trusting, especially when meeting other Nigerians or Africans.  Hearing your native language or seeing a familiar face might bring comfort.  But don’t let shared ethnicity blind you to reality: deceit, treachery, and exploitation may come from anybody, including your “brother” or “sister.”  In reality, some of the worst experiences that immigrants have, come from their own people.  Painful, but true. You must learn to check, not simply assume.  Just because someone claims to “know the road” or has lived in the UK for years does not imply that they have your best interests at heart. Don’t let anyone collect your documents, charge you for “connection,” or drag you into shady businesses in the name of “helping.” Many people have lost their savings, lost job opportunities, or even lost their status because they trusted too easily....
