The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a regulation adopted by the EU Parliament and Council that protects the personal data of EU citizens. It was passed into law in May 2016 and will be in full force starting May 25, 2018.
\n
\nWhile this is not the first law aimed at protecting personal data in EU, GDPR consists of regulations which are changing the privacy landscape dramatically. The regulation applies any organization or body operating in EU but it also includes any worldwide organization or entity that operates with EU citizen\u2019s private data. GDPR also defines expensive fines for any breach of compliance – \u20ac20 million or 4% of a company\u2019s global turnover, whichever is higher. It\u2019s no wonder with these 2 facts alone that the regulation has attracted a lot of attention.<\/span>
