What is it?

GDPR is the current “buzzword”, and the topic of many discussions in business forums right now.

You probably know it’s about data, it stands for General Data Protection Regulation. Data protection principles were originally based on the 1998 act, you can just imagine how much things have changed! It is a clear a power shift from the business to the customer and it means you will need permission in your business to store and continue your marketing discussions with your customers.
