Does the GDPR mean something to you? I strongly hope for you because by May 2018 you will most certainly have to apply this regulation.
But what is the GDPR?
The GDPR, or General Data Protection Regulation, is the new text of the European Union regarding data protection.
In just 55,000 words, it defines the new framework to follow for all companies processing the data of a European citizen.
You can have fun looking it up online, but honestly even if you read it, you’ll get lost in the technical terms and mass of information.

We can dissect this new law into a few distinct points:
