How do I reference the GDPR in APA style?

Answer

EU laws or conventions should not be included in APA reference lists or bibliographies at all. However, on the first mention of the document a full citation is given in the text of your assignment.

You can find the format for EU laws in the full APA guide. You can also incorporate the article number as well in your sentence if you needed to. For example:

 

According to Article 9 of the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council [2016] OJ L119/1
