How will the new European Union data protection law affect U.S. nonprofit organizations?
Nonprofit organizations based in the U.S. can often handle large amounts of data which originates in the EU—for example, they may have employees in Europe or a large member database that includes Europeans.
Nonprofits may receive such data either directly from EU citizens or indirectly including from affiliates or member organizations, acting as a “data controller” with respect to such data (having control over how data is used) or as a “data processor” (acting on the instruction of the party sharing the data).
