Risks, Rights and Rules - The European Approach to Data Regulation

Nearly two years ago the European Union put into effect the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), a unified standard for the rules of data-driven society in Europe. This standard applies not only to one of the largest connected data markets of the world but impacts other regions as well. But what are the principles and objectives of the GDPR? And above all: Does it even work? This presentation gives an overview of the core rules of the General Data Protection Regulation and assesses its impact after nearly two years in effect.
