What is GDPR?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the EU's comprehensive data privacy law that came into effect in May 2018. It applies to any organization that processes personal data of EU residents, regardless of where the organization is located.

GDPR requires organizations to implement "data protection by design and by default" (Article 25) and maintain appropriate security measures (Article 32). Non-compliance can result in fines up to €20 million or 4% of global annual revenue, whichever is higher.

For software companies, GDPR compliance means building privacy and security into your applications from the start, not as an afterthought.
