The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was approved by the European Commission (EC) on 27 April 2016 and becomes law on 25 May 2018. It replaces the previous European Commission legislation which dealt with data protection, which was the Data Protection Directive of 1995, and one of the major differences between the GDPR and the previous law is that the GDPR is a Regulation rather than a Directive. This means that it automatically becomes law in each of the countries that make up the European Union without each of these countries needing to create their own, individual laws (in contrast with the previous Directive where, in each of the member states, a separate Data Protection Act had to be passed by the relevant state legislative body to enact it).
Recitals – 173 numbered paragraphs that lay out the principles and intentions of the Regulation; if you like, the background. (The Recitals are important because they provide additional details and insight into the purpose and functions of the Articles.)
Articles – the 99 sections that set out the detail of the Regulation – this is the part that must be complied with.
Leading on from this, it means that if your organization doesn’t look after that data in the way the GDPR requires, your organization may be subject to the penalties that the Regulation allows.
But the mainstay of what the GDPR is about is forcing organizations to take the protection of the personal data of EU citizens seriously.
We hereby thank and appreciate you for visiting our website and your interest in our services we offer all around the world including EU, US, Middle East & APAC. The websites and our unique offerings are designed and done available by the companies in Alotech group of companies as mentioned above.
