🎧 GDPR: Here I Come, Ready or Not

On May 25th, the European Union will begin enforcing the GDPR - a sweeping set of regulations designed to return control of user data back to the users. These rules apply to EU people, not EU companies - so if you have a business or website that deal with folks from the EU, then you need to comply with these rules. Note that even if it’s just a newsletter, you could be on the hook for damages if you didn’t obtain proper consent from your subscribers.
