The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) replaces the Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC and was finally approved by the EU Parliament on 14 April 2016. It strengthens the law on holding personal data. It applies throughout the EU including the UK (even after Brexit).

'Personal data' means any data which can uniquely identify an individual, such as name, address, telephone number, email address, NI number etc.

If you store any data like this then it applies to YOU.

To sum it up in a few words - you are responsible for the security and accuracy of any personal data that you hold and are to treat it responsibly. If anything goes wrong then you must inform of the problem within 72 hours to your Supervisory Authority. There are simply no excuses for failing to comply with the Regulations.

There is a notable change from having to Opt Out of communications to now having to Opt In. The requirement to respond to a request for a copy of personal data is reduced to 30 days. There is also a requirement to 'forget' an individual and remove all traces from your systems.

It is important to realise that if you store data on a third party computer which is not under your direct control, such as on the web, then you are still responsible if anything goes wrong.

The Enforcement date was 25 May 2018.

This law is being implemented in the UK so you MUST conform to it even after Brexit and it will be a requirement when working with EU customers. There is a maximum penalty of ?20,000,000 or 4% of turnover for breaches.

The homepage for the EU legislation is at https://www.eugdpr.org

The page on the Information Commissioners Office relating to this is at https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr/

As a company we only store a limited amount of personal data, usually only a contact name, address, phone number and email address. Our Supervisory Authority is the Information Commissioners Office at https://ico.org.uk

We discovered a bug in the TPN Web Services that occurred in rare instances when returning POD images.

It only occurred if there were multiple POD records for the consignment and the first record did not contain an image. In this case no image or POD information was returned.

This problem has now been fixed by TPN.

The TPN SOAP program was not at fault but has been updated to give detailed failure information so that in future any anomalies can be reported and resolved quicker.

An app caused a problem with the default app setting for ..... files, so it was reset to .....

This keeps on popping up, resetting image files, browsers etc to the Microsoft default versions.

This has just started on Windows 10. It does things like change your default browser to Edge. It is really annoying.

This details the problem and gives a solution -

Basically it's caused by Microsoft update KB3135173

See -

https://www.computerworld.com/article/3032751/microsoft-windows/windows-10-forced-update-kb-3135173-changes-browser-and-other-defaults.html

A lot of this appears to be due to the Windows 10 Falls Update downloading about 4GB. If you keep getting this try to load and it seems to be an issue then:-

Go into C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\ and delete the Download folder.
