What is GDPR?

Here is the EU’s official website: https://www.eugdpr.org. But here is a helpful article which explains each part of the regulation in plain english that a non-lawyer can understand 🙂

Basically the GDPR law is a replacement for the 1995 Data Protection Directive. GDPR will significantly strengthen a number of rights for individuals (e.g. demand companies reveal or delete their personal data). The penalty for non compliance is a maximum fine is €20m or 4% of the company’s global turnover (whichever is higher).

Who does this affect?

Any business which processes personally identifiable information (PII) of data subjects inside the European Union. PII is information that can be used to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context (reference) such as their email address or full name.
