In this article, Megan Gordon and Dan Silver – co-chairs of Clifford Chance's US Cybersecurity and Data Privacy Group – comment on the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), an EU-wide rule that comes into effect on May 25, 2018. The rule outlines how organizations process personal data of people residing in the EU, and it sets a new bar on matters such as the level of customer consent required for use or storage of data, how records are kept in order and the amount of time to inform customers about a data breach. The article focuses on implications for US hedge funds.
