Overview

The mutually agreed General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has now been in place for around two years and has modernized the laws that protect the personal information of individuals.

GDPR has replaced previous data protection rules across Europe that were almost two decades old – with some of them first being drafted in the 1990s. Since then our data-heavy lifestyles have emerged, with people routinely sharing their personal information freely online.
