Introduction to General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
Overview
The European Union (EU) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), effective 25 May 2018, is the most important change in data privacy regulation in 20 years. The aim of the GDPR is to protect all EU citizens from privacy and data breaches in today’s data-driven world. The GDPR not only applies to organisations located within the EU but also applies to organisations located outside of the EU if they offer goods or services to, or monitor the behaviour of, EU data subjects. It applies to all companies processing and holding the personal data of data subjects residing in the EU, regardless of the company’s location.
