Personal Data Protection
Privacy and protection of personal data has become a very stressful aria for most of the businesses after the entry into force of the new European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) on May 25th, 2018.
The dramatic change of the Personal Data Protection philosophy imposes to every company a new and more responsible approach, considering the special sanctioning regime that can bring fines up to 4% of the turnover of the preceding fiscal year or up to 20 million €, whichever is greater.
