Understanding the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
The GDPR is the biggest change to data privacy laws in the last 20 years and came into effect on 25 May 2018. The new regulation focuses on how an individual’s data is used and processed and although most of the principles and terminology have not changed, the GDPR enhances rights for individuals and introduces greater transparency and accountability.
