The implementation of General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will be in all local privacy laws in all nations within the EU and EEA region. The regulation will be applicable to all companies that store or sell personal information of the citizens of European countries including companies that are based in other continents.

Citizens of the EU and EEA area will be offered more control over their personal information and can rest assured that there is enough security for their personal data across Europe.

As directed by the GDPR, a name, an email address, a picture ID, social networking updates, medical data, bank details, IP address of a computer, geographical data, and other information about a person are referred to as the personal data.

If your company does not currently have a GDPR compliance program, it is essential for you to understand whether the GDPR compliance affects you or not. The absence of your company in the EU region does not necessarily mean that you are not subject to the regulation. The personal information of the citizens of the EU is covered by the regulation of the GDPR, so if your company collects information from EU citizens, it must be in compliance with the GDPR.
