What is the GDPR?

The EU General Data Protection Rules (GDPR) come into force on 25 May 2018 and is the most significant piece of privacy legislation in the last twenty years.  It aims to strengthen the rights that EU individuals have over their personal data and seeks to unify data protection laws across Europe.

The GDPR will impact every organisation which holds or processes personal data and businesses will be required to demonstrate their compliance. The GDPR also introduces more stringent enforcement and substantially increased penalties for non-compliance than the Data Protection Act (DPA) which it supersedes.
