Since taking effect a year ago on May 25, 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) put in place by the European Union to protect citizens’ personal privacy has led to more than 95,000 complaints with national data protection authorities (DPAs), the European Commission has reported.
To recap, GDPR impacts data related to EU citizens no matter where that data is collected, stored, processed, and accessed. That means U.S. and Canadian databases containing EU citizen information fall under GDPR.
