The European Union has taken a monumental step in protecting the fundamental right to privacy for every EU resident with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which will take effect from May 25, 2018. Simply put, EU residents will now have a greater say over what, how, why, where, and when their Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is used, processed, or disposed. The regulation also clarifies how the EU personal data laws will apply beyond the borders of the EU. Any organisation that works with EU residents’ personal information in any manner, irrespective of their location in the world, has obligations to protect this data.
