General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) stories
Concerned with the growth of the internet and the inadvertent or otherwise exposure of personal
information to potential bad actors, the European Union promulgated the General Data Protection
Regulation in 2016. The regulation is part of European Union privacy law and human rights laws and
must be complied with by any companies doing business with EU nations. It is designed to give people
greater control over their personal information while simplifying regulatory compliance for international
business.
