GDPR Privacy & Data Protection
What is GDPR?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a European Union regulation that came into effect in 2018 to strengthen the protection of personal data and privacy rights of individuals within the EU and EEA. It establishes requirements for organizations that collect, store, process, or otherwise handle personal data, emphasizing lawfulness, transparency, accountability, and individual rights.
GDPR applies to organizations worldwide that process personal data of EU residents, regardless of where the organization is located. It governs data processing principles, lawful bases for processing, security safeguards, breach notification obligations, and data subject rights such as access, rectification, erasure, and portability.
