We teach companies and their employees about the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It is an EU regulation that all companies within the EU/EEA must comply with. GDPR is also applicable to companies registered outside of the EU/EEA, if they process personal data that belongs to individuals within the EU/EEA.
