The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a European Union law that came into effect on May 25, 2018. It strengthens and unifies data protection for all individuals within the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA).
Even if you're not in the EU, PocketUtils extends these same privacy rights to all our users worldwide because we believe everyone deserves strong privacy protection.
