You may have noticed many emails lately from vendors and companies updating their privacy policies. The reason for this is that the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (or GDPR) goes into effect today, May 25, 2018. This regulation greatly increases data privacy practices for any company that does business in the EU, which, in turn, means that most major companies are now adopting those practices. You can read about how this will impact libraries in this ACRL Tech Connect blog post or this article from American Libraries Magazine. /al
