GDPR
With a mission to protect the personal data of European Union (EU) citizens from unauthorized use, as well as address the issue of exporting personal data outside EU, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will come into effect on 25 May 2018.

What is Personal Data?
Personal data refers to any information that can be used to directly or indirectly identify a natural person or a ‘data subject’, including but not limited to, name, email address, photo, social media posts, medical information, bank details, and IP address.
Why is GDPR relevant?
In the light of the recent high profile data breaches, spanning industries like telecom, healthcare, cloud services, large retailers, and government agencies, which have shared the data of millions of contacts to unauthorized entities, GDPR is an excellent step to protect citizens’ fundamental right of privacy in this digital era.
Are You Under the GDPR Ambit ?
If your company processes personal data of EU citizens, irrespective of the location of your establishment or the location where the data is stored, you must be ready to adopt and implement the new data protection regulation.
For example, an e-commerce website hosted and run from China, but catering to EU data subjects, must adhere to GDPR.
Here is another example, a company headquartered in the United States, but has a sales office in the EU, will also have to comply with GDPR.
Why Should You Be Worried ?
Non-compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation could result in:
A penalty of 10 million EUR or 2 percent of the annual turnover, whichever is higher, in case of a less serious violation.
Major violations resulting in non-compliance to basic principles of the regulation could attract fines up to 20 million EUR or 4 percent of the annual turnover, whichever is higher.
