What is GDPR?
In 2016, the European Commission approved and adopted the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). GDPR is a significant change in data protection regulation in the EU and replaces the existing legal framework (the Data Protection Directive and the various member state laws). It will come into effect from May 25, 2018 onwards.
Why is GDPR important?
GDPR brings forth a host of fresh rights and responsibilities concerning the safeguarding of individuals’ processed data. Its overarching goal is to bolster and harmonize data protection for individuals by ramping up enforcement efforts and establishing a graduated penalty system for breaches. We’ve thoroughly examined the regulations and protocols and are actively implementing the necessary measures to achieve compliance.
What has Realty Revolve done to comply with GDPR?
