On 25 May 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (the GDPR) becomes law across all member states within the European Union.

It has been widely described as a “game-changer” as it overhauls the manner in which all businesses and organisations handle personal data. Significant penalties can be imposed for breaches so doing nothing is not an option.
