Every time you shop online, use an app, stream a file or ‘like’ a social media post , you generate data. The scale is huge – every minute of every day, across the globe internet users collectively publish 450,000 Twitter posts, watch 69,000 hours of video on Netflix, and request 18 million weather forecasts1.
To keep pace, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into force on 25 May 2018.
