GDPR Compliance: Learn how firms handle personal details

by Mahender Bist CEO

You might have heard about GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) as of now; and if you haven’t, we are here to help you understand exactly what it is. This piece of legislation has a far-reaching impact even on some of the largest organizations in the world; hence, it’s important for everyone to know what it really entails.

What does GDPR entail?

GDPR is a piece of legislation which was enacted in April 2016. European Union (EU) gave organizations two years to abide by it; meaning, the legislation is coming into effect on May 25, 2018. From this date, any organization established within the European Union, which stores, holds, or uses personal data must comply with the new rules.

Besides that, companies located outside the EU jurisdiction will also be affected as long as they offer services or goods to people residing in the EU bloc. For instance, a US-based call center in charge of customer services for firms that sell their services in Europe falls into this category.
