[[File:GDPRTimeline.png|250px|left|link="https://icannwiki.com/GDPR"]]<div style="font-size:1.05em;">The '''General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)''' or '''Regulation (EU) 2016/679''' is a regulation designed to modernize and harmonize the data protection laws across the European Union (EU), giving citizens and residents of the EU more control of their data and providing a more consistent regulatory framework for businesses. This new EU data protection framework will replace the Data Protection Directive, or '''Directive 95/46/EC''' of 1995. Enforcement for the GDPR goes into effect on 25 May 2018.

The GDPR places specific legal obligations on 'controllers' and 'processors', those who acts as intermediaries between the user/consumer and themselves, the government or any other actor.
