GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation. It is a regulation of the European Union (EU) that came into effect on May 25, 2018. It replaces the 1995 EU Data Protection Directive and strengthens EU data protection laws. It gives EU citizens more control over their personal data and how it is collected, stored, and used. It also increases the penalties for non-compliance with data protection laws. The regulation applies to any company that processes the personal data of EU citizens, regardless of where the company is located.
