The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a set of new European privacy rules which aim to bolster data protection of all individuals within the EU, and which will come into effect on May 25, 2018. GDPR provides comprehensive revisions and sets high standards for privacy protection. It applies to all companies and organizations that process personal data of European citizens, regardless of their location. Companies that breach the regulation will be charged with severe financial penalties of up to 4% annual turnover or €20 million, whichever is higher.

How far GDPR reaches and how it applies can be confusing, and complex legal provisions and 99 Articles only add to the uncertainty.
