Email users have been receiving emails from large companies titled "Terms of Service" which is due to the Europe's new pending law, the General Data Protection Regulation.

If you’ve checked your inbox lately, you’ve seen them: emails explaining that a company you've done business with is updating their terms of service.

In recent weeks, online companies big and small have been sending them out. You might have opened one from Yahoo, Google, Twitter or Facebook.
