Are You a "Data Subject"?

Europe is creating the governmental infrastructure of the 21st century.  Saving your rights, and saving big business from itself. 

So, are you a 'data subject'?  Europe says yes. And the fascinating thing is, Europe is protecting you, and me, Americans, Canadians, not just Europeans.

"The European Union's new digital privacy law, the General Data Protection Regulation, doesn't just protect European residents or citizens. The law covers 'data subjects.'  You are a data subject," writes Atossa Araxia Abrahamian in the NY Times. 

A data subject is a person inside or OUTSIDE the European Union whose personal data is used by a controller or processor.  So this law actually protects you and me.  Thank you Europe.
