The GDPR is a new European privacy law due to become enforceable on May 25, 2018. The GDPR is intended to harmonize data protection laws throughout the European Union (EU) by applying a single data protection law that is binding throughout each member state. The GDPR applies to all organizations that have an establishment in the EU or that offer goods or services to individuals in the EU when processing “personal data” of EU residents.
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. The GDPR will replace the existing European Data Protection Directive (Directive 95/46/EC). Beginning on May 25, 2018, the existing Data Protection Directive, and the laws relating to it, will no longer apply.
