What is GDPR and does it apply to the Harmonization Newsletter?

GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation. The official regulation can be found at the European Commission (EC) website: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/priorities/justice-and-fundamental-rights/data-protection/2018-reform-eu-data-protection-rules_en

The GDPR applies to Harmonization: Newsletter in the Social Sciences. According to the EC: “Regulation (EU) 2016/6791, the European Union’s (‘EU’) new General Data Protection Regulation (‘GDPR’), regulates the processing by an individual, a company or an organisation of personal data relating to individuals in the EU…. When an individual uses personal data outside the personal sphere, for socio-cultural or financial activities, for example, then the data protection law has to be respected.” https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/reform/what-does-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr-govern_en

What is personal data?

According to the EC: “Personal data is any information that relates to an identified or identifiable living individual… It also doesn’t matter how the data is stored – in an IT system, through video surveillance, or on paper; in all cases, personal data is subject to the protection requirements set out in the GDPR.” https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/reform/what-personal-data_en
