Thus, the App can be installed either on mobile devices from the application stores “Google Play” for Android devices and “App Store” for iOS devices or on desktop computers using Windows 10 operating system from the “Microsoft Store”.

The “GDPR in Your Pocket” application, developed under the SMEDATA II project, aims to present the GDPR to citizens and small and medium-sized enterprises in an easy-to-use and understand way and to give them practical knowledge and advice on their rights and obligations in the field of personal data protection. The SMEDATA II project, co-financed by the European Commission under the Rights, Equality and Citizenship Program 2014 – 2020 of the European Union, is coordinated by the Bulgarian data protection authority – the Commission for Personal Data Protection (CPDP) and is implemented in partnership with APIS Europe, The Union of Bulgarian Jurists, Ernst & Young Bulgaria, the Bulgarian branch of the European Women Lawyers Association (EWLA) and the Roma Tre University.
“GDPR in Your Pocket” has been developed as an open source hybrid application by APIS Europe JSC in its capacity of a technological partner in the SMEDATA II consortium.
