FAQ
1.
What is the GDPR?
The General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) is a new European privacy regulation which will replace the current EU Data Protection Directive (“Directive 95/46/EC”). The GDPR aims to strengthen the security and protection of personal data in the EU and unify all EU member states’ approaches to data regulation, ensuring all data protection laws are applied identically in every country within the EU.
2. Who does the GDPR affect?
The GDPR applies to all organizations operating in the EU and processing “personal identifiable data” of EU residents. Even if the organizations are based outside the EU, the GDPR will still apply to them so long as they’re dealing with data belonging to EU residents. Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.
3. What implications does GDPR have for companies processing the personal data of EU citizens?
One of the key aspects of the GDPR is that it creates consistency across EU member states on how personal data can be processed, used, and exchanged securely. Organizations will need to demonstrate the security of the data they are processing and their compliance with GDPR on a continual basis, by implementing and regularly reviewing robust technical and organizational measures, as well as compliance policies.
