R6DB.com, a large community database for Rainbow 6: Siege, is shutting down due to the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) coming to the EU later this month. This comes as part of a wave of similar shutdowns related to the regulations, including Loadout and Super Monday Night Combat.

R6DB isn't the first site to be hit by problems like these, Steam Spy has met a similar fate.

GDPR was instituted in April 2016, and it’s finally being implemented on the 25th of May 2018. The regulation aims to hold companies accountable under EU data protection law while processing private data, with financial penalties on companies that do not comply. The GDPR implementation comes hot off the heels of some high-profile misuses of private data, mostly notably the Cambridge Analytica scandal.
