GDPR
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a new European privacy law that takes effect on May 25, 2018. The GDPR is not limited to European companies. The regulation includes every company that can potentially process EU nationals’ data – so that’s basically every company in the world regardless of its location. The GDPR gives people more rights over their personal data. Specifically, it provides the right to access, correct, delete, and restrict processing of consumer data, and sets strict guidelines for user consent. If you collect or store any information that can be linked to an individual, that counts as personal data.
