"Came into force" is wrong
It says in the infobox "25 May 2018", but actually, it came into force on 24 May 2016! - it is only to be applied beginning 25 May 2018, as it says itself in its last article (and it must be in force to be able to say so!). This "legalese" distinction between "in force" and "to be applied" is certainly confusing ... Does the infobox for EU regulations have a field where it can be stated from when on the regulation is to be applied? --User:Haraldmmueller 12:10, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
Data Protection Officer
I have removed this sentence: "Monitoring of DPOs will be the responsibility of the Regulator rather than the Board of Directors of the organisation that employs the DPO."
There is no mention of 'the Regulator' in the article, the DPO Guidance document cited for this section nor in the Regulations themselves so I cannot understand the basis on which this statement has been made.
If someone can provide a citation for this specific statement then happy for it to be reintroduced, but in which case 'the Regulator' needs to somehow be both introduced and defined. Tedmarynicz (talk) 18:31, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
Data breach notification
I'm do not have a legal background. However, I think i detected a small mistake:
"The reporting of a data breach is not subject to any de minimis standard and must be reported to the Supervisory Authority within 72 hours of the data breach (Article 33). "
=> Notification should happen 72 hours after having become aware of it
general viewpoint : transitional?
In many places the article seems to be not describing the Regulation per se, but how it evolved from and is different to its predecessor. However, it's not explicit when it does this. For example the sentence. “The notice requirements remain and are expanded. ” Without re-reading the introduction and making a guess, this sentence doesn't help the general reader. I suggest drafting to say what the Regulation does, and only then draw comparisons. --Matt Whyndham (talk) 10:43, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
