What is GDPR?
GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation. This regulation is to help users on the Internet to protect and aware on how the service or website using their data.
According to WikiPedia, and other readings, this rules are for EU countries by 2016 but of course, everyone also aware that its now enforcement is because of recently data privacy related to Facebook on the court.
The GDPR aims primarily to give control to citizens and residents over their personal data and to simplify the regulatory environment for international business by unifying the regulation within the EU.

Many website such as from Google (by each of its product), facebook, … and I got this surprise with in this week because all the sites that I have been subscribed sent me about the update of the privacy and has been well stated on GDPR such Podio, Openbravo, Hygger, .. and other more.
What is the deadline so far?
It is tomorrow, the 25th of May for EU enforcement and the fine with the technical services without this update can be around €20 millions pound or 4% of global annual turnover, whichever is higher.

So, do you know who has been updated in Cambodia?
