Although May 25, 2018 – the date of effective enforcement of Regulation no. 679 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (hereinafter “the Regulation” or “GDPR”) – is approaching very fast, the question “Are you ready for GDPR?” still creates confusion, in certain circumstances, regarding the new regulation on the protection of personal data brought by GDPR and its applicability.

GDPR (Regulation 679 of 27 April 2016 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, repealing Directive 95/46/EC), which will apply from 25 May 2018 (hereinafter referred to as “GDPR”), covers all processing of personal data, including personal data of employees.
