Risks, Rights and Rules – The European Approach to Data Regulation

This standard applies not only to one of the largest connected data markets of the world but impacts other regions as well. But what are the principles and objectives of the GDPR? And above all: Does it even work? This presentation gives an overview of the core rules of the General Data Protection Regulation and assesses its impact after nearly two years in effect.
