Target Audience

Outline

The data protection regulation commonly referred to as the ‘GDPR’, will come into force throughout the EU and EEA on May 25th, 2018. This regulation is highly significant for any organisation that handles or monitors the personal data of individuals within the EU and EEA.

The regulation aims to:

  • Safeguard the personal data privacy rights of individuals
  • Heighten accountability for how personal data is acquired and handled
  • The GDPR applies to organisations that:
  • Collect, share and use the personal data of EU/EEA residents
  • Offer goods and services to, or monitor EU/EEA residents

The GDPR applies, irrespective of the country where the organisation is established. Thus, the GDPR has expanded the territorial scope of EU data protection law.
