General Data Protection Regulation

 

The new GDPR sets out the rules regarding the processing, by a person, a company or an organisation, of personal data relating to individuals in the European Union (EU).
The GDPR protects personal data regardless of the technology used to process that data; the protection is technology-neutral and applies to both automated and manual processing, provided the data is organised according to predefined criteria (for example, in alphabetical order). It is also irrelevant how the data is stored, whether in a computer system, via video surveillance, or on paper; in all these cases, personal data is subject to the protection requirements set out in the GDPR.
