How the GDPR works
In January 2012, lawmakers in Brussels proposed reforming Europe's data rules. The GDPR law was finally passed in 2016, giving companies two years to comply.
GDPR enforce how businesses must handle personal data, such as names and IP addresses, but it doesn't ban the use of data in cases such as police use of intrusive facial recognition. It uses seven principles to guide how your data can be used and stored.
GDPR use these principles that allow each European country to issue fines of up to 4 per cent of a firm's global turnover for violating GDPR principles.
