Simply put, the GDPR is the first Data Protection Law to come out of the European Union and gives greater protection and rights to individuals.
If you handle personal data, or sensitive personal data, you need to know your legal obligations when doing so. Personal data is any identifiable data - from a name to an IP address. Sensitive personal data is religious and political views, sexual orientation and more.
