What is GDPR? The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has been applicable since May 25, 2018, in the 28 countries of the European Union. It applies to all companies (including Works Councils), administrations, and associations that process personal data and provide services to users in the European Union, regardless of the location of these organizations worldwide. The objective of the GDPR is to "give citizens back control of their personal data, while simplifying the regulatory environment for organizations." It is based on the French "Informatique et libertés" law of 1978 and expands its measures. In France, the reference authority for monitoring its application is the CNIL.
