GDPR

Explanation:

The General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO) is an EU regulation that uniformly governs the protection of personal data across the EU and strengthens the rights of individuals regarding their data. It has been directly applicable in Germany and all other EU member states since May 25, 2018, meaning no national implementing laws are required. As European law, it takes precedence over conflicting national laws.

The official title is “Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation).” The official text of the GDPR is available from the European Union.
