GDPR Law

The GDPR is an EU legislation that gives individuals certain rights regarding their personal information. It was announced in 2016 with a two-year transition period to provide time to comply. Any mobile app that collects or processes the data of EU citizens falls under the jurisdiction of this regulation. Regardless of where your business is based, if you have users from the EU, you should begin taking steps to comply with the GDPR. The GDPR contains 99 articles with many new privacy requirements, including: Explicit consent from mobile app users before collecting their personal information Data protection by design and by default User access to data Right to data portability Right to be forgotten Strict implementation of the rules Right to know when one's data has been breached To ensure compliance with the new GDPR rules, mobile app owners need an app-specific approach to secure data moving to and from mobile devices, as well as several built-in controls for users to control their data. Make sure to become familiar with Privacy by Design concepts and incorporate them into your GDPR compliance plan.
