What is GDPR
GDPR, short for the General Data Protection Regulation, is a regulation in European Union law designed to give EU citizens and residents greater control over their personal data, particularly regarding how this data is controlled and processed by companies. This regulation demands careful consideration of the ways that companies handle personal information of European citizens and residents. The GDPR is effective May 25, 2018.
GDPR aims to protect EU subjects from companies using their data irresponsibly and puts them in charge of what information is shared, where and how it's shared. It also makes data protection expectations identical throughout EU member states, which helps companies because they must now comply with a standard set of rules when doing business with EU subjects.
