The Changing Landscape of Data Privacy Regulations Globally

Quick fact

The European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), implemented in 2018, can impose fines up to 4% of a company's global annual revenue or €20 million, whichever is higher— a penalty that has already cost tech giants billions, and its influence is spreading to privacy laws worldwide.

Why this is interesting

You might think your personal information is safe, but did you know that the rules protecting it are changing dramatically around the world? A single law can protect a citizen in one country while leaving another citizen with almost no protection.
