The General Data Protection Regulation is a rule passed by the European Union in 2016, setting new rules for how companies manage and share personal data. The new law has already resulted in significant changes for US users as companies scramble to adapt.

The internet is going to be changing and quickly as the new rules go into effect on May 25th. #StayCompliant.
