On 25 May 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into effect across the European Union (EU) signifying one of the most comprehensive reforms to European privacy laws in recent history.
Since its inception, the GDPR has frequently been used as a benchmark by legislators, regulators and law reform proponents around the world to promote changes to their own local laws. Australia has been no exception with a number of upcoming regulations and current reform proposals drawing inspiration from principles under the GDPR.
You can access a copy of GDPR one year on online, or click the ‘DOWNLOAD PDF’ button.
