What is GDPR?

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the new European privacy legislation that will come into effect on May 25, 2018. GDPR aims to improve and unify the protection of personal data throughout the EU.

For example, organizations must clearly indicate why they collect personal data, what they use it for and how this data is stored. If you request access to the data stored about you, organizations must also provide this.

For more information, be sure to visit the Privacy Commission's website.
