GDPR

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive data privacy law enacted by the European Union, significantly impacting how organizations worldwide handle personal data. It grants individuals greater control over their personal information, imposing strict requirements on businesses regarding data collection, storage, processing, and transfer. Key tenets of GDPR include the right to access, rectify, erase, and portability of data, along with mandatory data breach notifications. Non-compliance can lead to substantial fines, underscoring the importance for any entity dealing with the data of EU citizens to establish robust data protection policies and practices. GDPR’s influence extends globally, setting a high standard for data privacy and security.
