The new European Data Protection Law, GDPR, came into effect in May 25, 2018. Fines for failure to comply are significant – 4% of a company’s worldwide revenue. 

First ever violation notice has been issued – against a Canadian data analytics firm. 

The Canadian company faces a possible $23.5M fine. Don’t let this be you.
