Digital River to Present Free Webinar on GDPR and Its Impact on Ecommerce

Commerce cloud company Digital River, a global provider of Commerce-as-a-Service solutions, will present a free webinar – ‘How to get your ecommerce ready for the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)’ on January 31 at 10:00 a.m. CST time.

The European Parliament and Council introduced the GDPR to standardize data protection requirements across the European Union (EU). The GDPR would change the way business is conducted with consumers around the world, with massive implications for global ecommerce. Nearly every organization that does online business and processes or receives data of EU citizens, regardless of the company’s geographic location, must be compliant with the higher standard of data handling practices.

During Digital River’s free webinar, presenters will talk about the widespread impact the GDPR will have on e-commerce companies and outline the steps they must take to comply when the new regulation goes into effect in May 2018. To register for the upcoming free webinar, click here.
