What is it?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), is a European privacy law approved by the European Commission in 2016. It will go into effect May 25th 2018. The GDPR is an attempt to strengthen, and modernize EU data protection law and enhance individual rights and freedoms, consistent with the European understanding of privacy as a fundamental human right. The GDPR regulates, among other things, how individuals and organizations may obtain, use, store, and remove personal data. It gives EU citizens and residents control over their personal data.
GDPR adds some new requirements regarding how companies should protect individuals' personal data that they collect and process. It also raises the stakes for compliance by increasing enforcement and imposing greater fines for breach. Beyond these facts it's simply the right thing to do. At Webatix, Inc.
