On May 25, 2018, the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) law comes into effect. GDPR protects European Union data subjects’ fundamental right to privacy and the protection of personal data.
GDPR applies to any company (whether a controller* or a processor*) established in the European Union (“EU”) that processes personal data, regardless of whether the processing actually takes place in the EU or not. More significantly, the GDPR also applies to companies that are NOT established in the EU if they process the personal data of EU-based individuals for the purpose of:
(a) Offering them goods or services.
(b) Monitoring their behavior within the EU (e.g. social media, online tracking, data analytics).
This law will apply to any organization that meets above criteria, irrespective of where they are located.
The fines for non-compliance could be high, with fines of up to €20 million, or 4 percent of a company’s global revenue.
