Nearly six in 10 internet users in the UK said that since the GDPR went into effect, they’ve developed a better understanding of how companies use their personal data. The increased attention people are giving to their personal data is reflected in the number of complaints that European regulators receive.

The UK data protection watchdog the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) received 6,281 complaints between May 25 and July 3. By comparison, during that same time frame in 2017, the office received just 2,417 complaints. These figures show that the complaints the ICO receives have more than doubled since the GDPR went live.
