What is GDPR all about and to whom it applies?

GDPR is a regulation brought into existence by a collaborative effort of the Council of the European Union, the European Parliament, and the European Commission. The new regulative is a replacement of the existing Data Protection Act 1998 on which the Europe currently relies.
