GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation. It is a law governing the processing of personal data, which came into force in all EU countries in spring 2018.
The General Data Protection Regulation sets out precise requirements for companies and organizations that collect, store and manage personal data. The requirements apply both to European organizations that process people's personal data in the EU and to non-EU organizations that process data on people living in the EU.
From an individual's perspective, GDPR provides better protection for your personal data and more control over the processing of your data.
