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.
