If you are looking for web hosting services UK, this news would add to your happiness. The new data protection laws considered by the European Union empower you to sue your web hosting providers if they are not able to take care of security of your data. The new rules would be applicable on 28 member states of European Union. European Commission proposed the rules 3 years ago.

Now Governments, European Commission, and the European parliament will negotiate to narrow down their differences, and to give a final shape to this law. European parliament is expected to approve the new rules by the end of this year. The rules would ensure protection to privacy of customers’ data and inhibit automated processing of customers’ personal details. If the rules come into effect by 2016, authorities will be keeping an eye over Internet companies like Facebook and Google on how they secure the privacy of customers’ data. Companies failing to adhere by the laws would have to face monetary penalties.

Though various sections of the data protection law are yet to be finalised by European commission that would define the stringency of the rules; however, one thing is sure that with these laws European citizens can feel more secure about their privacy.

This is great news for businesses that want to take hosting services from European providers. Now hosting companies would be bound to provide security to your data and you would have power to sue the company if they are not taking essential security measures. So, by taking services of a UK hosting company you would be now free from worries of unauthorised access of your vital data and their illegal use.
