GDPR & Legal Bits

GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) replaces the existing Data Protection Directive (Europe Directive 95/46/EC). From May 25th 2018, the existing Data Protection Directive, and the laws relating to it, will no longer apply. One of the key aspects of the GDPR is that it creates consistency across EU member states on how personal data can be processed, used, and exchanged securely.
