In April of 2016, the European Union replaced an earlier rule--the Data Protection Directive--with a newer, more comprehensive set of rules. This new document, which is called the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), goes live on 27 May 2018.

You may be wondering why you should care. Anyone doing business with people who live in the European Union will need to meet the Data Privacy requirements of this legislation or receive hefty fines--€20M/$23.5M US or up to 4 percent of annual worldwide turnover [revenue].
