If you are selling to European countries (or analyse behaviour), you need to be aware of the GDPR and implement a program to comply with this new law.

So what is it?

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) replaces the Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC and was designed to harmonize data privacy laws across Europe, to protect and empower all EU citizens data privacy and to reshape the way organizations across the region approach data privacy.

When?

It’s law already (since April 14th 2016), but the enforcement data is 25 May 2018 – “at which time those organizations in non-compliance will face heavy fines” – quote from http://www.eugdpr.org/

Who is affected

The GDPR not only applies to organisations located within the EU but it will also apply to organisations located outside of the EU if they offer goods or services to, or monitor the behaviour of, EU data subjects.
