GDPR: Guide to the Data Protection Regulation

Lately we are constantly reading the new EU directive, concerning the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR – 2016/679), which enters into force on 25 May in all Member States of the Union, without the requirement of state legislation. To understand exactly what the directive brings, we have prepared a brief but comprehensive guide to the regulation itself, as well as some suggested actions for companies to implement the legislation.

What exactly is the GDPR?

A regulation aimed at harmonizing many different laws that already exist throughout the European Union into a set of rules that will protect the citizens of all member states. There was already a legal framework in Greece and other countries that defined what the GDPR stipulates, but the main difference that makes it more serious and demanding is that it is a regulation and not a directive, which means that its implementation does not depend on whether become state law.
