EU Data Protection Regulation
EU Data Protection Regulation has large impact on majority of companies in Europe (and abroad) on next few years. As far as I know, it shall apply from 25th of May, 2018.
I don’t know nearly enough about the regulation yet, but decided to summarize information sources for myself on this page and perhaps they will be useful for others too. I will intend to update this in future, when needed.
Summarizing the changes
European Commission web page (see: Reform of EU data protection below on Information sources) had factsheets that covered the changes. Especially one that explained how citizens’ rights will change, was quite useful:
