The GDPR will introduce new accountability obligations, stronger individual rights, restrictions on international data flows and data breach notification.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The new GDPR is more than simplifying compliance and harmonizing national laws. GDPR gives control to the individuals about how their personal data is being used. Any entity that is established in the European Union or that processes the personal data of individuals in the European Union will be affected. Some of the changes will include the \u201cright to be forgotten\u201d, data breach notification, data portability, and strong individual rights.<\/p>\n<p>Data protection and privacy are very important and crucial to our business. Therefore, we commit to handling the data in the most accurate way.
