"Van der Sloot has written a plain language, easy to understand guide to one of the most complex areas of law in a technological society. If you only buy one book to help you protect your privacy this year, make sure it's this one." - Valerie Steeves, University of Ottawa
"This book is a very helpful tool for both seasoned privacy practitioners as well as novices taking their first steps into Europe's data protection forest. Written in a simple style with down-to-earth language, Van der Sloot demystifies Europe's new privacy regime, by clarifying popular misconceptions and illuminating central themes. Yet the book is much more: between the lines, Van der Sloot makes a strong case regarding the GDPR's relevance and adequacy." - Tal Zarsky, University of Haifa

The General Data Protection Regulation in Plain Language
The General Data Protection Regulation in Plain Language is a guide for anyone interested in the much-discussed rules of the GDPR. In this legislation, which came into force in 2018, the European Union meticulously describes what you can and cannot do with data about other people. Violating these rules can lead to a fine of up to 20 million euros.
This book sets out the most important obligations of individuals and organisations that process data about others. These include taking technical security measures, carrying out an impact assessment and registering all data-processing procedures within an organisation. It also discusses the rights of citizens whose data are processed, such as the right to be forgotten, the right to information and the right to data portability.
