We're processing personal data of individuals who are located in the
EU, so we need to comply. What we don't need is a named Data Protection
Officer (we have less than 250 employees).

What we were missing was:
* a privacy notice saying what we collect, what we do with it, and what
legal basis we have for collecting it (which is now in place!)
* An easy way to ensure that requests, for the travel committee, can be
deleted when there's no requirement to keep it anymore (we're now using
RT rather than an email list)
* a confidentiality agreement for those who process personal data (now
in place, but not technically a GDPR requirement)

Happy to answer any more questions,
Neil
