vpxPrint allows two types of encryption. Use them for security and confidentiality reasons and/or to conform to GDPR (RGPD).
1.The first mode is a file encryption that renders the xpr file unreadable and unusable without a password,
2.The second mode makes it possible to encrypt only certain parts of the xpr file, such as names, amounts, etc.
In this mode, the xpr will be visible, except for encrypted zones (if the password is not provided).
Since encryption takes place in memory, this mode is safer, no data is ever written to a file.
The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the most important change in data privacy regulation in 20 years.
The regulation will fundamentally reshape the way in which data is handled across every sector, from healthcare to banking and beyond.

See in the following chapters below the two methods explained.
When did GDPR come into effect?
The GDPR was approved and adopted by the EU Parliament in April 2016. The regulation took effect after a two-year transition period and, unlike a Directive, did not require any legislation to be passed by government.
GDPR came into force on 25th May 2018.
Who does the GDPR affect?
The GDPR not only applies to organisations located within the EU but also applies to organisations located outside of the EU if they offer goods or services to, or monitor the behaviour of, EU data subjects. It applies to all companies processing and holding the personal data of data subjects residing in the European Union, regardless of the company’s location.
What are the penalties for non-compliance?
Organizations can be fined up to 4% of annual global turnover for breaching GDPR or €20 Million. This is the maximum fine that can be imposed for the most serious infringements e.g.not having sufficient customer consent to process data or violating the core of Privacy by Design concepts. There is a tiered approach to fines e.g. a company can be fined 2% for not having their records in order (article 28), not notifying the supervising authority and data subject about a breach or not conducting impact assessment. It is important to note that these rules apply to both controllers and processors – meaning ‘clouds’ are not exempt from GDPR enforcement.
