About this course
A GDPR program starts with knowing what personal data an organization holds and why it is processed. This free course uses five practical steps to introduce that inventory before discussing legal bases, legitimate interests and erasure.
LH Group designed the material for complete beginners. The workflow can help organize questions and records, but the course was last updated in 2022 and cannot determine compliance for a specific organization or jurisdiction.

Skills you’ll gain
- Establish a baseline through a personal-data audit
- Build a basic inventory of processing activities
- Recognize that processing needs an appropriate legal basis
- Distinguish consent from legitimate-interests analysis
- Identify why deletion requires more than emptying a recycle bin
- Plan questions for deeper privacy and legal review
The first lessons cover a data audit and data inventory: what information exists, where it came from, how it is used and who can access it. Supporting worksheets mentioned in the syllabus can help structure the exercise, but completing a template is not proof of compliance.
The course then introduces permitted legal bases, the higher standard expected for consent, a legitimate-interests assessment and data erasure. These topics are connected: retention and deletion decisions depend on the purpose, legal obligations, systems and records involved.
No prior GDPR knowledge is required. The public syllabus lists 29 minutes across six lectures. The instructor says the legal material was current in August 2022, so learners should verify current EU, UK and local rules and seek qualified advice for operational decisions.
