Although 73% of Europeans had heard of at least one of their data privacy rights, which include the right to be forgotten and access personal data collected by companies or organisations, over a quarter had not heard of any of those provided for under GDPR. Just a third of Europeans are aware of their rights under GDPR, a recent survey of 27,000 individuals has found. Despite a significant announcement surrounding the commencement of GDPR, Europeans have failed to adjust privacy settings on their social media with numbers of those doing so falling four percentage points since 2015. The European Commission is currently working towards implementing GDPR and will publish its first version in 2018.
