The GDPR came about due to public concerns over privacy. The EU has long been leading the way in regard to data privacy and how companies handle and use the personally identifiable information (PII) of its consumers. The GDPR that is in place today is the result of technology transforming our lives in ways that could not have been expected, and a need for rules and regulations that are relevant to the world we live in. It replaces the EU’s Data Protection Directive which was established in 1995 when the internet was in its infancy.
