Data Protection in the European Union

The European Commission has published a new guide entitled "Data Protection in the European Union", which provides citizens and businesses with information on their rights regarding the collection and use of personal data and on what to do when their rights are violated.

As technology advances, the means available to transfer and process data become ever more sophisticated. This free guide provides useful tips on who is entitled to handle personal information and how data can be legitimately processed.
