Sažetak
On May 25, 2018, the old European Data Protection Directive (Directive 95/46/EC) was replaced with the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The GDPR is one of the latest initiatives in the continuous global recognition of the value and importance of personal information and privacy. The new regulation applies to those responsible for controlling and processing personal data. Data controllers are expected to meet strict standards and procedures related to collecting, holding, distributing and processing personal data and will be held accountable for ensuring compliance with the new regulation. This paper provides an overview of recent academic and professional articles based on the influence of GDPR on various subjects, including scientific research, privacy issues, company policies and implications on end users. Considering the fact that the new regulation was only recently enforced, the true effects on all the stakeholders are still to come to full effect. The GDPR provides a delicate balance between the necessity of effectively protecting data subjects’ rights in a digitalized world while simultaneously allowing the processing of personal data for heterogeneous business oriented activities. This paper discusses several research challenges and suggests guidelines on future research approaches on the influence of GDPR on various target groups. Special focus is set on two target groups influenced heavily by GDPR: companies of various sectors dealing with personal data and users of various ICT platforms. As the topic is rather significant in terms of personal data handling and privacy, this paper aims to provide preliminary research analysis and suggest a foundation for comprehensive future research activities.
