'''Global Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)''' is a piece of legislation collaboratively drafted for the data protection of the citizens of the European Union. The regulation is also an update of Data Protection Directive.
The GDPR places specific legal obligations on 'processors' and 'controllers', those who acts as intermediaries between the user/consumer and themselves, the government or any other actor. The controller determines how and why data is processed and processors act on the controller's behalf. Processors maintain data records and are held responsible in case of a breach.
