What is GDPR? How does it affect users’ and companies’ privacy?
The General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) set by the EU on May 25th, 2018 is a data privacy and security law, aiming at protecting users personal data and granting the “right to be forgotten/ to erasure”.GDPR is applicable to organizations anywhere as long as they are targeting and/or collecting data related to people in the EU. Breaches to GDPR could cost companies and organizations millions of Euros and/or 4% of its global turnover, thus is daunting for SMEs.
