About the European comparison of data protection laws

The GDPR aims to streamline data protection laws in the EU. However, the GDPR does allow MS to enact specific laws that deviate from the GDPR in several areas. European countries used this opportunity to different extents while adapting their data protection laws to the GDPR.

This creates a challenging situation for businesses with international data transfers, i.e. almost every company. You must comply with the GDPR as well as the data protection laws of all MS in which you gather, process or store personal data. Therefore, precise knowledge of the regulations applicable in every case is becoming increasingly important.
