What is the GDPR?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is European Union legislation designed to protect the personal data of EU citizens. This law replaces the 1995 Data Protection Directive and applies to all corporations and individuals doing business inside the EU or collecting data about its citizenry. The GDPR takes effect on May 25th, 2018.
The regulation grants EU citizens the right to know what data is collected about them, the right to have inaccuracies corrected, the right to be forgotten, the right to restrict processing of the data, and the right to transfer the data to another service.
The regulation also enforces industry standard best practices for secure storage, transfer, and access. The GDPR stipulates strict penalties of up to €20 million or 4% of the worldwide annual revenue of the previous financial year, whichever is higher, for organizations that do not comply.

Mediafly is implementing additional changes to our reporting infrastructure to facilitate anonymization of reporting data and deletion requests.
