GDPR

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive data protection and privacy regulation enacted by the European Union to strengthen and harmonize data protection laws across its member states. It applies to all organizations, regardless of their location, that process personal data of individuals residing in the EU and EEA, with the aim of giving individuals greater control over their personal data and ensuring its secure and lawful processing. GDPR imposes obligations on organizations regarding data protection principles, lawful processing, consent, data subject rights, data breach notifications, and cross-border data transfers. Non-compliance with GDPR can result in substantial fines.
