GDPR
What is the General Data Protection Regulation?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) takes effect on May 25, 2018, and it aims to protect all European citizens. It replaces Data Protection Act (1998) and applies to companies (regardless of the company location) who process personal data about individuals in the EU.
What is considered as “personal data”?
GDPR applies to any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
