Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about GDPR
- What is GDPR?
The term “GDPR” refers to the General Data Protection Regulation, a European Union (EU) law about data privacy and security. Among other things, it regulates the transfer of personal information across EU borders and establishes certain individual rights relative to personal information. It was passed by the EU in 2016 and is effective as of May 25, 2018.
