MLex has published a free special report into the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which is due to come into force across EU Member States in May 2018.

The report, Countdown to the GDPR & Beyond, reports from the sold-out IAPP Europe Data Protection Congress 2017, which took place in Brussels this month. It reports on how companies are preparing and how the thinking of regulators is evolving around areas such as the requirement for online tracking consent, the Privacy Shield and GDPR compliance.

Countdown to the GDPR & Beyond is available here
