GDPR (The General Data Protection Regulation)

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive data privacy law that establishes a framework for the collection, processing, storage, and transfer of personal data. It was drafted and passed by the European Union (EU) and went into effect on May 25, 2018. The GDPR imposes obligations onto organizations anywhere, so long as they target or collect data related to people in the EU. It is an important component of EU privacy law and human rights law. GDPR aims to give EU citizens more control over their personal data and simplify the regulatory environment for businesses.
