Material Detail

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was approved by the European Union (EU) in April 2016. It comes into force on May 25, 2018. GDPR requires that covered organizations put significant processes and safeguards into place regarding the collection, use, and processing of personal data of data subjects located in the EU. GDPR uses several defined terms of art that have special meaning within the regulation. A data subject is an identified or identifiable natural person. Personal data are any information about an identified or identifiable data subject, which can include direct identifiers, such as name, address, email address, and national identification numbers, or indirect identifiers such as location data or IP address. This list of data elements is not exhaustive, and the definition of personal data under GDPR should be considered in the broadest possible context.
