The Netherlands recorded the most

Newsroom January 22 04:22

The EU’s General Data Protection Regulation or GDPR came into force on 25 May, 2018. It addresses the transfer of personal data outside the EU and EEA, intending to provide individuals with control over their personal data and unify EU regulation, thereby simplifying the regulatory environment for international business. DLA Piper have now released data showing the level of GDPR data breaches across the EU and EEA between May 25, 2018 and January 27, 2019.
