GDPR

The General Data Protection Regulation is EU law that replaces the Data Protection Act 1998 in the US and the EU Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC 1995. It places greater obligations on how organisations handle personal data.

The GDPR applies to organisations and individuals operating within the EU, whether or not they are based in the EU. This means it applies to organisations outside the EU that offer goods or services to individuals within the EU.

The GDPR defines 'personal data' as any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in a particular reference to an identifier.

The GDPR definition provides for a wide range of personal identifiers, some of which are obviously personal data (such as names and address), as well as data which can be used to identify an individual indirectly (for example an IP address).
