Every day, all sorts of businesses you might not even know are scooping up information on you. In an increasingly digitalized world, your private data has become a precious commodity. Data is the fuel which powers profitability.
To better regulate the use of personal data and protect citizens, the European Union adopted the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which came into force on 25 May 2018. In the UK, the GDPR is tailored by the Data Protection Act 2018. Non-EU businesses with offices in Europe, or who hold or process data coming from Europe, also need to be fully appraised of GDPR.
