For example, the electronic storage of data is a relatively new concept and one that has not always been adequately addressed by existing legislation. Experts believe that it is one of the most important pieces of data protection legislation drafted within the last 20 years. It is important that everyone involved in the collection, storage and processing of personal data be aware of the GDPR and its implications.
