The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), effective May 25th, 2018, has dramatically changed the global landscape for data privacy compliance. The extra-territorial reach of the GDPR means that it is relevant not only to businesses established in the European Union but also to international businesses established outside the European Union which offer goods or services to individuals in the European Union or monitor their behavior in the European Union. Lex Mundi has developed several resources to assist with GDPR compliance.
