Extended quotation in Summary section is unsupported by citation of source in a footnote. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:154:4000:742E:DDDB:F1E2:4530:B40B (talk) 12:31, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
The key definition for this article, of personal information, may appear as if erronously copied from its source. This quote, is simply not a copy of its original verbatim form from its mentioned source:
"personal data is any information relating to an individual, whether it relates to his or her private, professional or public life. It can be anything from a name, a home address, a photo, an email address, bank details, posts on social networking websites, medical information, or a computer’s IP address."[7]
I'm new here, but I find this somewhat disturbing for the reliability of this Wikipedia page and similar ones. Maybe there have been multiple versions of the quoted source? anyway, a bit concerning.
The section "Content" starts with "The proposal for the European Data Protection ..." But for 18 months, this has not been a proposal, but a regulation (or "law", if you want). So this should be changed, shouldn't it? --User:Haraldmmueller 13:38, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
Dear all,
Hereby I wanted to point your editors to the following piece; https://epic.org/2018/04/zuckerberg-confirms-global-com.html, where the reach of GDPR is wider as just European consumers. Other topics on the internet already suggested that this framework could be a referral piece of legislation for other law making entities. Since I am no expert in this topic I wanted to point this out for people known with the subject who could place it justly in the articles scope.
Greatings

I am surprised there is no chapter on critisim - after all, there are plenty... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.220.70.134 (talk) 20:03, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
The word data is the plural of datum. Throughout this article data has been used as a singular noun. However the English version of REGULATION (EU) 2016/679 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL, i.e. the General Data Protection Regulation, to which the article refers, correctly differentiates singular from plural.

Re "As the GDPR is a regulation, not a directive, it does not require national governments to pass any enabling legislation and is directly binding and applicable.[dubious – discuss]": This sentence is actually misleading. The GDPR actually is directly binding and applicable - this is true. However, it has a number of "open areas" where members states need to pass legislation to define more narrowly these open areas. I do not know whether a member state must pass such additional legislation - would Malta or Cyprus actually do this? Anyone has any information how many member states actually did pass such supportive laws, like Germany's "Bundesdatenschutzgesetz (neu)" or Austria's "Datenschutz-Anpassungsgesetz 2018"? --User:Haraldmmueller 07:41, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
Given that many companies are using hashed emails as a way to comply with GDPR, this seems important to point out
