You may have heard murmurs around something called The GDPR over the past few months and you may not have had the time to find out much about it. So, we’ve written a brief overview about what it is and how it affects you.

Firstly, it’s probably best to tell you what The GDPR actually stands for. It is The General Data Protection Regulation and it is a European law that takes effect on May 25th 2018 designed to protect the personal data of its citizens. The GDPR is focused on re-empowering individuals, and giving them more control over their personal data, with new, enhanced, and up-to-date data protection rights.
