This legislation is a game changer for how applicable organizations process, retain and store customer data.
On May 25, the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was officially enforced, representing a watershed moment for consumer data protection and privacy moving forward.
This legislation, designed to better unify and protect data privacy for European Union citizens, applies to those within EU-member countries, so US-based companies may not think that this overseas legislation is relevant to their everyday business. These companies should think again: The GDPR could be very relevant to you and the way you currently collect and store data.
