European Data Protection Advice from GDPR Lawyers
Europe’s data privacy regulation – the General Data Protection Regulation or GDPR – is designed to harmonize data privacy laws across Europe, to enhance and empower all EU citizens’ data privacy rights and to reshape the way organizations processing personal data approach data privacy from the outset. GDPR gives individuals control over their own data. Where a business holds any individual European Resident’s data, including private email address, cellphone, street address, or even I.P. addresses, GDPR confers on every relevant individual the right to know what information is held on them, and to have such data deleted if they choose. Crucially, GDPR has a global reach - even companies outside the EU must consider their possible obligations under the Regulation.
