GDPR (Understanding And Applying the General Data Protection Regulation)

The GDPR has been in force since May 2018 as an EU-wide set of regulations and must be applied. Companies without principal office in EU-countries, but who collect and compute personal data from EU-citizens, are required to follow the GDPR rules. Violations are punishable up to $20 Million or 4% sales.
