As of 25th May 2018 the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), i.e. Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC, will become effective in all EU member states.
The GDPR represents the most important change in the area of the protection of privacy and personal data since the existing Directive (95/46/EC) has been adopted; the new regulation integrates the area at the level of EU and will impact all subjects processing personal data. The most significant changes brought by GDPR are summarized in our new Newsletter No. 5/2017.
