Welcome to KnowledgeCity's course on the "General Data Protection Regulation." The General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR, is a law set forth by the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union. It is designed to protect the data of European Union citizens, but it reaches far beyond the geographic confines of the European Union. The GDPR extends to all organizations who use EU citizens' data. This includes organizations that do not have a physical location in the EU.
