Personal data protection with an overview to the new European Union's legislation in this field
Abstract
Within numerous affairs and violations of personal data of many global users, question of personal data protection becomes increasingly attractive. Given that, we took analysis of current issues within that matter. At the beginning of this paper, we give some basic assumptions regarding those rights, then we give analysis of protection mechanisms and an overview of the new European regulation. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) brings many improvements in this area. Since the reach of this Regulation is wide above ambitions of this paper, we decided to keep this analysis on issues that occupy attention of the professionals and subjects who have a set of strict obligations within this Regulation. The right to be forgotten is for sure one of the most remarkable questions which brings more efficiency in the protection of personal data, but on the other hand, it threatens to change the Internet as we know it.
