What is GDPR?

The General Data Protection Regulation – GDPR, is a legal framework for the protection of personal data in all EU Member States. It radically changes the way businesses and organisations collect, process and manage all forms of personal data, setting the circumstances under which personal data may be used, stored, deleted, transferred and generally processed and especially how they are protected.

GDPR applies to every organization and company in Europe managing personal data in any way and every company doing business in the EU territory. To demonstrate compliance, each organisation must analyse all parameters according to its operation and develop the appropriate management and documentation system.
