GDPR: What You Need To Know

 

What four letters are on everyone’s mind?

GDPR.

Ready or not, here it comes.

On May 25^th, GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) will become enforceable by law. Any company around the world doing with business with customers in the EU will need to comply by it.

“The EU is basically setting a global standard,” explained Larry Dignan, Editor-in-Chief, ZDNet and Editorial Director of TechRepublic.

“Anyone doing business in the EU has to comply with this regulation. It a nutshell, that covers everybody. It will become a global standard.”

If it sounds ominous, it is.

If you haven’t started to prepare, time is running out.

GDPR is a game-changer.

A very expensive one.

If you don’t comply, there’s a fine of up to 20 million Euros. That’s $23,571,700 USD. Or 4% of your annual sales. Whichever is greater.

Joy to the world.

GDPR has come.
