As the May 25 deadline for the GDPR looms ever closer, organizations within the EU and elsewhere are rushing to prepare their websites and data collection processes for the new regulations. The GDPR carries with it the potential for hefty fines in the event of non-compliance, so it’s no surprise businesses want to get it right. At FormAssembly, we’re proud to be GDPR Compliant, which you can read more about in our GDPR FAQ page. We’ve done our share of research on GDPR and its implications. Here are some of the top resources we’ve run across, so you can use them in your research as well.
GDPR Information Portal
Created in partnership with Trunomi and Commvault, this dedicated GDPR portal not only includes an FAQ page and an overview of some of the most salient changes from the previous directive to the GDPR, but it also includes a GDPR timeline and brief history of previous regulatory events.

Here are two sources for the full text of the GDPR in different formats. You may be happy to find (as we were) that the language is fairly easy to understand, which is great!
