To celebrate Data Protection Day, the Article 29 Working Party created an infographic presenting the new general data protection regulation.
After 4 years of discussions at the European Union level, a final draft of the regulation has been released. It is expected to help Europe face the challenges of the digital age.
The regulation will strengthen the citizens' rights to provide them with real control over their personal data. It will offer an unified framework for companies and simplify the prior notification. The regulation will be formally ratified in early 2016 and will come into force in 2018 in all EU countries.
