GDPR
Overview
GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation and refers to the European Union regulation for data protection for all individuals within the European Union. The regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679)2 becomes enforceable on 25 May 2018 and replaces the data protection directive (officially Directive 95/46/EC)3 from 1995.
Who does it affect?
Any individual or organisation that stores or processes personal information on an identifiable person from an EU member state (regardless if the processing or storage of information occurs in the EU or not). It also applies if the individual or organisation themselves is located in an EU member state.
What kind of information comprises personal data in a Moodle site?
It is all information that can be associated with a natural person. Each user account and all the activity associated with that user account is classified as personal information. This extends to information stored in backups, as well as associated information such as web server log files.
What are the penalties for non-compliance with the regulations? Severe!
