The GDPR is a legal framework that sets guidelines for the collection and processing of personal information of individuals within the European Union (EU), and takes effect on 25 May, 2018.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) sets out the principles for how the personal data of your staff, clients and suppliers is handled, as it pertains to the rights of the individual.

The General Data Protection Regulation covers ALL companies that deal with the data of EU citizens, so it is a critical regulation for a wide range of companies, from the very large multinational conglomerate to the corner shop with one employee. All involved parties will need to be initially aware and then subsequently prepared.
