What is GDPR and Where is it Applicable? | hitechnectar


Some even call it a “milestone of the digital age” GDPR is General Data Protection Regulation and it will be enforced amongst the 28 European Union (EU) members including UK (Brexit).  It’s 88 pages and 50,000 words long, it’s one big new data protection regulation as of May 2018 for not only just EU but also for anyone regardless of where you or your company is based- US, Germany, Japan, China wherever- GDPR applies to anyone who offers products or services to or of consumers in Europe and takes effect on May 2018. It creates rules for all European Residents’ data and how it must be handled.

Effective Date & Deadline for GDPR

GDPR was adopted on 27 April 2016 but will come into force effective from 25 May 2018, after a two-year transition period.
It was kind of already there by 2016, which also gave plenty of time for all the organizations to prepare their companies to comply with its laws and Regulations.
EU accounts for about 25% of Global GDP, so it’s not something you should ignore.
  • That means you can’t ignore or assume what your users want.
  • Ask only for the information that you are going to use like if don’t actually need to know what is their company then don’t ask for it. And if you are, then be really clear about what you’ll use it for.
  • Make sure you explain every stuff in your terms and conditions and privacy policy and in a way that they will have an option to everything.
  • Make everything very clear. Regulators in charge of GDPR compliance love transparency. So, putting all the stuff out in the open is one of the simplest ways to protect yourself from the fines in case of in compliance.

How Does Natural Language Processing (NLP) help Chatbots?

NLP is an interesting tool that helps break down the semantics of natural language such as English, Spanish, German, etc. to individual words. It then deciphers the intent of the input using various combinations of these words and responds appropriately. This piece of technology has been put to use by many organizations across the globe, and you might not even understand when you are interacting with a machine because it seems very human-like, but is very efficient and there is a very minute lag in terms of responses. Quicker responses help keep customers happy with the speedy resolution of issues and hence eventually result in more business and a boost to the top line. Read More:

Google's New Launch : Flutter 1.0 | What is “Stable Cross-Platform”?

Cross-platform (CP) application development is in the limelight lately, and more so as Google announces Flutter 1.0. Many enterprises are now considering CP for developing any new product. Google finally unveiled a stable version of their cross-platform mobile app development – Flutter 1.0, Google’s UI toolkit, on 4th December 2018 at the Live event in London.

We see some of the changes in build 17723 of  Redstone 5 & 18204 of  19H1  ( Redstone 6 ) which presumably means 2019 first half of the year. Here, we will look at the latest build of the ‘Redstone 5’ 17723. 2 days ago i.e.,  July 25th 2018 was the new release date for the latest build of Redstone 5 range. As per the company’s typical release schedule, Redstone 5 is due to hit the  RTM  (release to manufacturer) status in September, and the public rollout should begin in October. Today, we will be discussing the build 17723 only. That is because the ‘Skip ahead Build’- 18204 has almost nothing new in it for us. Right now, they both are pretty much in the same level. Though it is said to be stable, Skip Ahead might have some issues. However, if you may want to opt- in, to Prepare your PC for Win...
