What is the GDPR?

The GDPR is the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation, which was implemented on May 25, 2018. The GDPR framework contains 99 Articles regulating the use and processing of personal data, as well as responsibilities for safeguarding that data. It has been influential on other countries’ privacy laws, like Brazil’s LGPD.

Each EU member country has its own supervisory authority, which handles enforcement.

Common GDPR questions and answers

The GDPR applies to companies that process the data of EU residents, whether or not the companies are also located in the EU.

Regulators are critical of a lack of transparency and lagging adoption of privacy measures. Additionally, all major markets will face privacy regulation in the coming years. Consumers are also increasingly concerned about their privacy and data.

A focus on privacy and user trust increases revenue, as privacy progressively becomes a premium consumers are willing to pay.

  • Personal data can only be processed for legitimate, specific and clearly communicated purposes.
  • User consent must be voluntary, informed, explicit and granular. You must be able to prove consent has been received if you are audited.
  • We stay up to date with the changing regulatory and technology landscape, and adjust services in alignment with changes to companies’ data processing.
