What is GDPR?

Definition

"The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) entered into applicability in the EU on 25th of May 2018. There is thus one set of data protection rules for all companies operating in the EU/EEA, wherever they are based. Stronger rules on data protection mean: people have more control over their personal data."

Increased privacy

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) standardises data protection law across all 28 EU countries and imposes strict new rules on controlling and processing personally identifiable information (PII). It also extends the protection of personal data and data protection rights by giving control back to EU residents. GDPR replaces the 1995 EU Data Protection Directive, and goes into force on May 25, 2018. It also supersedes the 1998 UK Data Protection Act.

Globally applicable

GDPR applies to all organizations holding and processing EU resident’s personal data, regardless of geographic location. Many organisations outside the EU are unaware that the EU GDPR regulation applies to them as well. If an organization offers goods or services to, or monitors the behavior of EU residents, it must meet GDPR compliance requirements.
