What is GDPR?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU) 2016/679 is a regulation in EU law on data protection and privacy. Its aim is to give explicit control over personal data to its subjects. The Regulation was adopted on April 27th, 2016 and it becomes enforceable from May 25th, 2018, after a two-year transition period.

So, May 25th, 2018 is a bulk mobile database red-letter day for many companies. It’s a major change regarding data privacy.

Who is GDPR directed to?
Citizens of the entire EU, as well as Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein, will become the subjects of GDPR but the regulations will have a global impact for organizations.

If you are a company owner who processes the personal data of EU citizens or citizens of the aforementioned countries, GDPR applies to you. Even if your company is registered outside of the EU, Norway, Iceland, or Liechtenstein.

This means that you need to understand GDPR and start working on a plan to meet its requirements.
