GDPR

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive data privacy law enacted by the European Union (EU) to protect the personal data and privacy of individuals within the EU and the European Economic Area (EEA). It establishes strict rules on how organizations collect, process, store, and share personal data, ensuring transparency and accountability. GDPR grants individuals enhanced rights, such as the right to access, rectify, erase, and transfer their data, while imposing significant fines for non-compliance. Its scope extends globally, meaning businesses outside the EU must also comply if they handle the data of EU citizens.
