General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has come into force from 25th May 2018. Its main objective is to improve the data protection level and to provide full control over the personal data of the EU citizens. It is an extraterritorial effective law and is applied to all the companies that collect, store and use the personal data of the EU citizens regardless of the location of the company. That means, even if the company is not located at the EU border, the law will be applied if the company offers the goods and services to the people living within the EU.
