Why is GDPR-like reform expected? Considering that Ukraine aims (1) to focus on the IT industry and engage foreign investors, and (2) to join the European Union, taking the GDPR as a reference for privacy reform is a sensible move. The GDPR is a regulation that most companies aim to comply with – setting mirrored requirements is business-friendly. On top of that, the GDPR outperforms current Ukrainian legislation in terms of data subject protection.
