About the regulation and data protection
What does the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) govern?
What is personal data?
What constitutes data processing?
What are Data Protection Authorities (DPAs)?
Background
As of May 2018, with the entry into application of the General Data Protection Regulation, there is one set of data protection rules for all companies operating in the EU, wherever they are based.
Stronger rules on data protection mean
- people have more control over their personal data
- businesses benefit from a level playing field
In June 2020, the European Commission published an evaluation report on the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
GDPR – the fabric of a success story
Two years after the entry into application of the GDPR, the Regulation has been an overall success.
