The Data Protection Directive (officially known as Directive 95/46/EC) is a regulation established by the European Union to establish legal protection for the privacy of individuals and personal data. This regulation has been replaced by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as of May 2018. The other options, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and National Infrastructure Protection Center (NIPC), are regulations specific to the United States and not applicable to the EU.
