What is GDPR?
Understanding the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
On May 25, 2018, the years of planning came to a close. Long-planned data privacy improvements have begun to take effect across Europe. Since it was jointly adopted, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has modernized the regulations governing the protection of individuals’ personal information.
Europe’s prior data protection laws, some of which were initially developed in the 1990s, were over two decades old and have been superseded by GDPR. Since then, individuals have developed data-intensive lives and often divulge their private information online.
