GDPR – SUPPORT IN ADAPTATION OF THE PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION SYSTEM

From 25 May 2018 on, Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation), commonly known as “GDPR”, will come into force.
