Data Protection Policies - (Amyn’s Guide!) 

Note!  The english below is simplified to the point of being crude to get a message across – Unlike the way lawyers tell you the same thing politely and then pass you a consultation fee in thousands…

What is God? God is your own perception of your faith that has been mindlessly handed down to you dynastically! 

I have been born and am a Muslim (I follow Islam) however I have come to understand that no matter what you call God – Be it Allah, Bhagwan or God, or what religion you follow – all of them say

• 1.     Be a good human being
• 2.     Don’t harm others
• 3.     Do good to and for others
• 4.     lastly don’t be an asshole .    (loosely translated) 

What is Religion? – Religion (again) is basically a set of guidelines on how a person should live their life (sent down from God)

Every religion has their own beliefs and all religions irrespective of one’s personal opinion MUST be respected as those are the views of a certain society.  (whether you like it or not – every religion or scripture has published that its followers should respect others who are of different schools of thought) – I did not say accept  (if you do not wish to) – I only said respect

What is Law(s) – Laws are a basic set of rules that any society follows – when documented they get different names such as schools call them rules – clubs call them membership guidelines – associations call them articles of associations etc. blah blah blah

Right now that we have the basics for the foundation upon which to build your logic and reasoning then should you be a hedonistic, narcissistic, over smart, attention seeking web master and desire to have your ego waxed by the client whom you feel you can sweet talk with tech jargon and TIME IS NOT your most precious commodity then stop reading this and carry on with your life as this issue and Cyber security are real issues to consider! 

I may not own a college degree however, I have seen some of the world’s most text book competent lawyers lose cases because of grammatical, punctuation or errors that they have over seen because “someone” lacked common sense to cover the obvious!

A few years ago Lawyers started getting rich, we as a society stopped reading the fine print and simply started seeing it, and saying it but well lawyers well, all they do is talk a lot and try to sound important yet sorting things is an indefinite problem for the consumer.

Data Protection – The beginning – to find out its history and all go here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Protection_Act_1998 and if you need more clarity yet need to be a bit confused then go here https://www.gov.uk/data-protection

What are Data Protection Policies? – these are a vague set of policies that may leave a woman questioning if she is half pregnant – depending upon the religion one might even consider that another immaculate misconception might occur because everyone feels like half a virgin?

Why?...  is everyone is feeling violated?... yet don’t know if they have been?  So the lawyers are making money by doing frivolous contracts on areas that are grey as only they will benefit and their clients will be caught up in endless litigation thus billing…. Get the drift! Hello! This is a reality!

If you desire to know what data protection is all about – go here google or research and first look  for GDPR guidelines not data protection.   The best update for all the above for an online social media company is here from Facebook - https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2018/04/new-privacy-protections/

The other most articulate guidelines on how to write such documents (yet confusing to those who lack common sense are found here)

Data Protection and Cyber Security is something that is extremely unique to any industry – DO NOT GO FOR WHAT ABUDDY WILL TELL YOU – you need to cover specifics – so go to a cyber security specialist and NOT a lawyer!  They will be cheaper and more to the point and focused – unlike lawyers they will give you a solution and enforce its as well – if you go to a lawyer – you will pay the lawyers’ fees – waste more time and get more confused and then eventually wind up going to a cyber security specialist

The one company that I trust and know is good is this one https://www.catalyic.com/
my reasons for liking this company are based upon the following

1.     The company is focused – unlike any of your buddies sitting online trying to get work from free lancers and being the jack of al trades
2.     the owners are hands on and tech savvy and extremely educated
3.     being based out of Pakistan is a good thing for them as they know what happens ( a country that has fluid policies and we all know what happens from the press)
4.     despite the odds from within the country – the company has an international portfolio that has grown steadily with government accounts they manage

Please do not look for the most well reputed ONLINE DRAMA QUEENS – money and a good web developer along with some kid who is a make shift freelance graphic artist can weave the most impressive website – a good website does not mean the cyber security company or IPR lawyer is good

You need to see how many cases they have won over the years and what their client portfolio is… If you need a free consultation please email me on - amyn@ghulamalis.com 

If you are in the UK real estate world - thank you for inspiring me to write this – it is illegal to call people and do what you are doing – it is stated on your partner websites that you do not do these things (such as falsely advertise inventories that are not on the market) – yet you are doing them – I wonder how many lawyers will get rich due to over smart real estate sales managers not knowing what they are doing!

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER!  The author is NOT a lawyer, neither is he advising you here, all the author is doing here, is presenting an argument online about a pressing issue at hand and you are free to do your own deductive reasoning and make your own decisions independently!  

Should you wish to use any of the guidelines that Amyn followed as presented above then you will do so at your own risk and discretion and NOT hold the author liable for any consequences thereafter!

Please share and distribute this if you think it made sense or gave you a real reality check!
