Data Protection
GDPR: A New Era in Data Protection
On May 25, 2018, a new comprehensive European Union (“EU”) privacy law, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), takes effect. The GDPR imposes new rules on companies, government agencies, non-profits, and other organizations (collectively “organizations”) that processes and/or hold Personal Data of data subjects that are citizens of or are residing in the EU. The GDPR applies to organizations established in the EU, as well as organizations based outside of the EU that offer goods or services to, or that monitor behavior of EU data subjects.
Personal Data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (referred to as a “data subject”). Personal Data can identify the individual directly or indirectly (e.g. in combination with other information), so could include name, identification number, online identifier, location data, or other factors specific to the physical, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of the person.
