  • 46% of people are more concerned about the privacy of their personal information than a year ago
  • 88% said that organisations should do more to protect the privacy and security of personal information
  • 71% had heard of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that will come into force on the 25 May 2018, and 38% thought that it will improve how organisations collect, store and use personal data

The survey was conducted by over 900 people across the Crown Dependencies. We hope that you find the results interesting in light of the introduction of GDPR.

We would also like to thank our research panel members and everyone else who contributed their views to the survey. We really value your feedback, and appreciate the time you gave to do so.
