LONGi-Network and Information Security/Data and Privacy Protection Compliance

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into effect on May 25, 2018. The regulation affects the way GDPR-applicable enterprises handle the personal data of their customers and employees. According to GDPR, enterprises that set up institutions in the EU or provide products or services to the EU shall comply with GDPR when processing personal data of EU data subjects. Violations of the GDPR can result in a fine up to 4% of the enterprise's annual turnover.
