The GDPR is an EU regulation and the laws implemented at national level are different and mostly have different names. It would make sense to link them instead.\n\nThe GDPR is a regulation and not a directive as you correctly pointed out, however regulations in the EU will be part of the national law.\nA directive on the other hand would be later implemented as a national law from the different countries.\n\nWhile it is true that most countries have national data protection laws alongside the GDPR, the GDPR counts for every country word for word.\n\nBoth approaches (yours and the one in the article) are not false.",
