GDPR
GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation. Being the EU’s new data protection legislation, it provides an absolutely new paradigm for using customers’ data. GDPR is good because it introduces stricter fines for non-compliance and breaches. It gives people more rights to tell companies what to do with their data. And that’s a massive jump into the new more user-oriented and personalized experience for each individual.
