The GDPR and Data Protection
What effect will the most lobbied piece of legislation in EU history have on Europe and across the world?
The EU is mindful that technology has transformed our world and should further facilitate the free flow of personal data both within the Union and to the rest of the world. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), applicable as of May 25, 2018, strives to be the strong and coherent framework for data protection needed to do so while ensuring a high level of protection for the personal data of EU citizens.
The Regulation, which is being supplemented by national legislation in many Member States has raised several issues, chief amongst which is a lack of clarity on how it will work in practice.
The advent of the internet and the borderless society that it has created has aided in the free flow of data making data protection a global issue almost by default.
Brexit further heightens this issue because though the UK has committed to adopting The Regulation, it will effectively become a separate entity with which the GDPR and the contracting EU Member States must mesh. Hence it follows that the future of business and cooperation across the globe is heavily reliant on the extent that companies can utilize data on a global level while remaining compliant with the GDPR.
