General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which takes effect May 25, 2018, is designed to unify data privacy requirements across the European Union (EU). If you market to, store, or process the personal information of EU Data Subjects \u2013 which include end users, customers and employees, this applies to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These expanded regulations require companies to ensure the highest level of privacy assurance or they could suffer severe financial consequences. The EU has taken great steps toward protecting consumer privacy, and now they are taking that protection to new heights by enacting regulations that could see companies fined up to 4 percent of their annual total global revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GDPR provides protection to EU citizens regardless of where the data is \u201ctraveling\u201d or ultimately housed. That means that any company that interacts with EU citizens is beholden to the regulations. This is not a regulation you want to be in the dark about!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is GDPR?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

GDPR replaces a previous law called the Data Protection Directive and is aimed at standardizing rules across the EU and aims to give consumers complete control of their data collected by companies. GDPR prevents companies from lumping dozens of disclosures and consent forms into a single \u201cI consent\u201d checkbox. This has been deemed too far-reaching and confusing for users so consumers must be given the ability to consent to different items individually. Equally important, consumers must be able to easily withdraw their consent at any time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most relevant regulations is that it is now mandatory for companies to notify their data protection authority about a data breach within 72 hours of becoming aware of it. Customers must be made aware at the earliest possible time as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\t\t
