General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a piece of EU-wide legislation which will determine how people’s personal data is processed and kept safe, and the legal rights individuals have in relation to their own data. ‘Personal data’ means information that can identify a living individual.
