GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation. It's a strict European
regulation intended to strengthen and unify data protection for all individuals within the European Union. The primary goal is to give citizens
and residents back control of their personal data.Incorrectly gathering and processing Personal Identifiable Information (PII) could result in high fines,
though this shouldn't be your main motivator for GDPR compliance. The most important thing is to
be aware that your company is handling PII so you can protect it like you would your own personal
information.
The regulation will drastically change the way companies process and protect the data entrusted to them. If your company operates a web store, it will mean new responsibilities and liability for secure data
processing.
