The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is an important topic, and one Ive been working with since the beginning of 2016. In 2016, the GDPR (which will become effective on 25 May 2018) was adopted to replace the Directive 95/46/EC to implement a legally binding regulation that will be considered the EU data protection law. May 25, 2018, the compliance deadline, may sound like a long time away, but it is important for all types of organizations to take some time to determine, first of all, if they are obligated to comply with GDPR.”]
