DATA PROTECTION: NEW EUROPEAN REGULATION -

After four years of negotiation and lobbying, the new European General Data Protection Regulation has now been finalised.

The Regulation will govern the control and processing of EU citizens’ personal data, regardless of where the controller/processor is based. It doesn’t come into force until 2018, but all data controllers should start considering now how they should prepare. We will be issuing a detailed Alert on the new Regulation shortly.
