What does the EU’s new data protection law mean for you?

On 25 May 2018 a new European Union data protection law – called the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) – started to apply. The law requires organisations, both public bodies and companies, to use your personal data in a transparent and fair manner. It strengthens your rights and applies to all organisations which process the personal data of individuals who are in the EU, irrespective of where the organisations are based.
