General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

On the 25th of May 2018 The European Union (EU) will implement a new set of laws designed to strengthen the privacy rights of EU citizens called the General Data Protection Regulation. These new laws affect how EU citizen’s personal data is collected, processed and used, no matter where a business or organization is located. They have been created in response to the increasing globalization of business, international flows of personal data, and the rapid advancements of the technologies that make these flows possible.
