The new regulation for the protection of personal data will be
enforced at the end of May 2018 in Cyprus and across Europe. The
new regulation affects every citizen, business, organisation and
public authority that handles personal information.
The new regulation describes the manner of the recognition for
the protection of personal data. It provides us with the
rudimentary definitions for us to be able to recognise information
which is termed as personal data and which is permitted to be used,
stored, disregarded/deleted, transferred and to be utilised in a
manner that will protect personal data.
The difficulty with personal data and especially nowadays with
the development of technology, the risk is not immediately or
readily understood by a company, organisation, public authority or
individual that includes the level of exposure that they are being
placed in with the use of this type of information and its transfer
to any Third Parties.
