GDPR Regulations – Framework Of Liability And Duties

GDPR Regulations – Framework of Liability and Duties

Background

On 22.5.2018, the GDPR ["General Data Protection Regulations"] (Hereinafter: the "Regulations") entered into effect on behalf of the European Parliament, the Council of the European Union and the European Commission, bodies serving as the legislative and executive arm of the residents of the European Union respectively.

These Regulations replaced the European Directive for the Protection of Information EC/95/46, which constituted a collection of archaic regulations that embodied the data protection mechanism of EU residents.

In contrast to the Directive, the Regulations refer and relate to the many technological fields, which their predecessors did not mention and certainly did not enforce in accordance with the level expected from Regulations that deal with the protection of privacy.
