The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a recent mandate of the European Commission and is designed to strengthen and unify data protection. It is being enacted May 25th of 2018. With this implementation, there will be a number of changes in the way that data is stored – thus affecting many people’s websites. This is because even if you live in the U.S., if you collect data from someone in Germany, your site has to meet the EU (European Union) standards so users can manage their data.
