The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) forms the basis of data protection regulations that are aimed at protecting the personal data of residents in the European region (EU member states plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway). The primary purpose of the GDPR is the protection of the fundamental rights and freedoms of natural persons and, more specifically, the right to the protection of personal data as well as the free flow of personal data within the EU. Even businesses outside of Europe have to comply with the often complex GDPR prescripts if they observe or process the personal data of EU residents. GDPR compliance is vital.
