The 
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is Europe's big new data privacy law. It comes into effect on 25th May 2018 and is intended to strengthen and unify data protection for all individuals within the European Union (EU).

What is GDPR?

Firstly, let us recap what GDPR is.

GDPR has been introduced to give control back to citizens and residents over their personal data and to simplify the regulatory environment for international businesses. When GDPR takes effect, it will replace the 1995 Data Protection Directive (Directive 95/46/EC).

It takes effect on 25th May 2018.

What data is protected?

The data that is protected under GDPR (as with the DPA) is data concerning individuals (not companies). However the definition is wider under GDPR and "Personal Data" extends to any information pertaining to an individual, whether it relates to their private, professional or public life. It can be anything from a name, to a home address, photo, email address, bank account details, posts on social networking websites, medical information, a computer's IP address and more. In other words, if in the course of running your business you collect and use any data about anyone that identifies them this will be Personal Data and you are required to follow the law in the way it is handled, accessed, stored or transferred. The individual is called the Data Subject.

Individual Rights

customers are required to agree to your Terms of Service in order to register an account and complete checkout. A user account cannot be created, and an order cannot be placed, without the user checking a box to confirm their agreement to your Terms of Service. That Terms of Service should also include a link to your Privacy Policy and any other important terms and service agreements you wish to make available.

BILLING SYSTEM 
WHMCS provides a self-service client portal that gives your customers access to login and view their personal information (profile data). This same client portal also provides your customers with access to update their personal information including name, email address, postal address and phone number as well as any custom fields you define.
