GDPR

What is GDPR?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a new European privacy law due to become enforceable on May 25, 2018. The GDPR will replace the EU Data Protection Directive, also known as Directive 95/46/EC, and is intended to harmonise data protection laws throughout the European Union (EU) by applying a single data protection law that is binding throughout each member state.
Who does GDPR Apply to?
The GDPR applies to all organizations established in the EU and to organizations, whether or not established in the EU, that process the personal data of EU data subjects in connection with either the offering of goods or services to data subjects in the EU or the monitoring of behavior that takes place within the EU. Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.
What changes will the GDPR introduce to organisations operating in the EU?
One of the key aspects of the GDPR is that it creates consistency across EU member states on how personal data can be processed, used, and exchanged securely. Organizations will need to demonstrate the security of the data they are processing and their compliance with GDPR on a continual basis, by implementing and regularly reviewing robust technical and organisational measures, as well as compliance policies.
What happens when uk leave the EU?
The UK government are already processing the UK Data Protection Bill 2017 (DPB) through parliament and this vastly covers GDPR whilst expanding on the current Data Protection Act 1998
