GDPR
What is the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a robust data protection law introduced by the European Union in 2018. It applies to organizations processing personal data of EU residents, aiming to give individuals greater control over their personal data. The regulation requires organizations to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures, prioritize transparency, respect data subject rights, and ensure lawful data processing. GDPR also mandates data protection by design and default, with strict penalties for non-compliance reaching up to €20 million or 4% of global annual turnover.
