On 25 May 2018, new data protection legislation from the European Union will take effect, imposing strict requirements on companies and institutions regarding the processing and storage of personal data. IÐAN Education Centre is currently preparing for the changes announced by the legislation and has, for that purpose, engaged the law firm Landslög.
