The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) replaces the Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC and was designed to harmonize data privacy laws across Europe, to protect and empower all EU citizens data privacy and to reshape the way organizations across the region approach data privacy. It also addresses the export of personal data outside the EU. GDPR becomes enforceable from 25 May 2018 after a two-year transition period and, unlike a Directive, it does not require national governments to pass any enabling legislation, and is thus directly binding and applicable. Are you GDPR-ready?
