On May 25, 2018, a European privacy law is due to take effect that sets a new global bar for privacy rights, security, and compliance.
The General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR, is fundamentally about protecting and enabling the privacy rights of individuals. The GDPR establishes strict global privacy requirements governing how you manage and protect personal data while respecting individual choice—no matter where data is sent, processed, or stored.
Microsoft and our customers are now on a journey to achieve the privacy goals of the GDPR. At Microsoft, we believe privacy is a fundamental right, and we believe that the GDPR is an important step forward for clarifying and enabling individual privacy rights. But we also recognize that the GDPR will require significant changes by organizations all over the world.
We have outlined our commitment to the GDPR and how we are supporting our customers within the “Get GDPR compliant with the Microsoft Cloud” blog post by our Chief Privacy Officer Brendon Lynch and the “Earning your trust with contractual commitments to the General Data Protection Regulation” blog post by Rich Sauer, Microsoft Corporate Vice President & Deputy General Counsel.
Although your journey to GDPR may seem challenging, we are here to help you. For specific information about the GDPR, our commitments, and beginning your journey, please visit the GDPR section of the Microsoft Trust Center.
