What is GDPR?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive data privacy and protection law put into action by the European Union (EU) in 2018. Its primary aim is to empower individuals by giving them greater control over their personal data. While combining data privacy laws across Europe. GDPR outlines strict regulations governing how organizations collect, process, store, and share personal data. It requires businesses to obtain explicit consent for data processing, implement robust security measures to safeguard data, and also provide individuals with rights to access, rectify, and erase their data. Non-compliance with GDPR can result in significant fines, making it crucial for organizations worldwide to adhere to its requirements, regardless of their location.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) outlines several key principles that organizations must adhere to when processing personal data. Firstly, data processing must be lawful, fair, and transparent, with organizations required to have a legitimate basis for processing and communicating their activities clearly to individuals. Additionally, organizations should collect personal data only for specific, legitimate purposes and should not further process it in a manner incompatible with those purposes.
Data minimization is emphasized, urging organizations to only collect and retain necessary data. Accuracy is crucial, with measures in place to rectify or erase inaccurate data. Personal data should only be stored for as long as necessary, ensuring it is kept secure and confidential through appropriate technical and organizational measures. Finally, organizations must comply with GDPR regulations, which include maintaining records of data processing activities, conducting impact assessments, and appointing a Data Protection Officer when required. These principles collectively aim to protect individuals’ privacy rights and ensure responsible data handling practices.
