Data Protection Law / GDPR

In an increasingly digitalised environment, the collection, storage, exchange and cross-border flow of personal data has become an integral part of our lives. The rapid development of information society, globalisation as well as the functioning of the EU single market created new challenges in the field of data protection.

As of May 25, 2018 General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679/EU (“GDPR”) applies directly to all EU countries, aiming to increase the level of control over personal data and provide an up-to-date, uniform and coherent framework for data protection.
