<h4><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)</strong></span></h4>
<p>The <a href="https://gdpr-info.eu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)</a> is the toughest privacy and security law in the world. Though the European Union (EU) drafted and passed it, the regulation imposes obligations on organizations anywhere, as long as they target or collect data related to natural people.</p>
<p>Data protection has become a truly global phenomenon as people around the world increasingly cherish and value the protection and security of their data. Many countries have adopted or are in the process of adopting comprehensive data protection rules based on principles similar to those of the Regulation, resulting in a global convergence of data<br />
protection rules. This offers new opportunities to facilitate data flows, between commercial operators or public authorities, while improving the level of protection for the personal data in the EU and across the globe.</p>
