The General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”) is an important legislation in the space of privacy and data protection. In this page, we address our commitment to adhering to the GDPR, how we are implementing it, and how these changes affect you, as our customers.
What is GDPR?
The GDPR is the European Union’s (“EU”) primary data protection and privacy law, which took effect on May 25th, 2018. The GDPR was conceptualized to protect and strengthen the right to data protection of EU individuals, and give them a greater say in how organizations collect and handle their personal data. The regulation modernized and replaced the age-old 1995 Data Protection Directive to keep pace with rapid technological developments and globalization, which have significantly changed the way personal data is collected, accessed and used.
Whom Does the GDPR Apply to?
The applicability of the GDPR extends far beyond the EU, to regulate the processing of personal data by organizations located outside the EU as well, if they offer goods or services to, or monitor the behavior of, EU individuals. It applies to all organizations processing and holding the personal data of EU individuals, regardless of the organization’s location.
What Constitutes Personal Data under the GDPR?
Personal data is any information related to an identified or identifiable natural person or ‘data subject’. This could be anything from a name, a photo, an email address, bank details, posts on social networking websites, location, or a computer IP address.
