Information for ESVE Members and Participants of ESVE congresses or ESVE courses
On 25thMay, 2018, new data protection legislation came into force in the European Union (The EU General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR, Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016). Essentially, its aim is to give individuals more control over the personal data that organisations hold on them. All organisations, including societies such as ESVE, are required to comply with these regulations and inform about data processing.
