GDPR Compliance

🇪🇺 What is GDPR?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive data protection law that came into effect on May 25, 2018. It strengthens and unifies data protection for individuals within the European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA).

GDPR gives individuals greater control over their personal data and imposes strict obligations on organizations that collect, process, or store personal data of EU residents, regardless of where the organization is located.
