Data Compliance Solution Brief
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will go into effect on May 25, 2018. It is intended to strengthen and unify data protection for all individuals within the EU and it also addresses the export of personal data outside the EU. GDPR aims primarily to give control back to citizens and residents over their personal data and to simplify the regulatory environment for international business.
