While some in the US are taking GDPR as a bitter pill that they have to take to avoid paying millions in fines, Microsoft is taking the new privacy laws as a business opportunity.

“As an EU regulation, GDPR creates important new rights specifically for individuals in the European Union,” the company wrote in its announcement today. “But we believe GDPR establishes important principles that are relevant globally.”
