GDPR – Data strengthens its defences



The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is an EU-wide initiative designed to strengthen individuals’ data rights by introducing tougher standardised data protection laws across all industries throughout the single market. The regulation aims to put us, as individuals, back in charge of our personal data and stop organisations having the ability to profit from this data without our knowledge or there being a legitimate legal reason. The regulation covers all EU personal data and will go live on 25th May 2018.
