GDPR came into force on 25 May 2018, bringing about a number of significant changes regarding the use of personal data, including:
- Greater transparency requirements for privacy notices.
- New and enhanced rights for individuals.
- Detailed requirements for contracting with processors.
- New security rules and breach reporting obligations.
- Obligations that arise depending on the legal basis for processing personal data.
- A revamped regime for enforcement, remedies and liability.
