The first change being in May 2018 the GDPR will come into full effect across all EU member states. Although full details have not yet been released the requirements will revolve around the public owning their data and deciding who is allowed to see it/use it. Currently millions of companies store data that is personal to individuals which they then use to make money. The big questions is why are they allowed to make money using information about you? Surely it should be you that is making money from your own information. There are thousands of examples of this however perhaps the most obvious is facebook marketing.

The GDPR is designed to force companies into complying with new laws that allow individuals to identify who has their data, what it’s being used for and removal of personal data if the person so wishes. This may be new legislation however the Enigma protocol is way ahead. Without going into too much detail the Enigma protocol is designed to allow everyone to own their data and furthermore they can share/sell their data as they wish. This complete ownership is fits in beautifully with the new GDPR regulation and once it has been released in May 2018 companies will be searching for alternative methods of storing data to which Enigma has the answer.

Enigma is onto a flyer if you want more examples of the real world examples simply read the blog post from the developers.
