What is GDPR?
According to the Google Cloud, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a privacy legislation that replaced the 95/46/EC Directive on Data Protection of 24 October 1995 on May 25, 2018. GDPR lays out specific requirements for businesses and organizations who are established in Europe or who serve users in Europe.
Regulates how businesses can collect, use, and store personal data
Builds upon current documentation and reporting requirements to increase accountability
Authorizes fines on businesses who fail to meet its requirements
Google Cloud champions initiatives that prioritize and improve the security and privacy of customer personal data so Google Cloud customers feel confident using their services in light of GDPR requirements. Since WorkAnywhere runs exclusively in the Google Cloud, they support our GDPR compliance efforts by:

Continuing to evolve Google Cloud capabilities as the regulatory landscape changes
