EU GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION

The European Union General Data Protection Regulation was approved by the EU Parliament on April, 2016 with expected application and enforcement beginning on May 25, 2018. The GDPR replaces a previous data protection regulation created in 1995 that did not automatically apply to EU Member States and therefore the data protection requirements throughout the EU varied. The GDPR addresses the protection of people physically within the EU with regard to the processing of personal data and rules relating to the free movement of such data.
