About GDPR
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is updated data protection legislation for European Union that took effect May 25, 2018. The regulation was developed to provide a set of standardized data protection laws that will make it easier for EU citizens to understand how their personal data is being used, express concerns and complaints and make changes to their information wherever the data may be located. It introduces provisions such as enhanced accountability, new procedures for handling data breaches and Subject Access Requests (SARs). The rules affect Data Controllers (those who determine why and how data is collected and used) and Data Processors (those who act on behalf of the Controller).
GDPR affects any entity who handles the data of a living individual within the EU and affects all domestic and international businesses operating in the EU, regardless of their size.
Check out the descriptions of the presentations below and be sure to register for one, or both if interested.
