EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a law designed to enhance the protection of personal data for individuals within the European Union. It gives people greater control over their personal information, ensuring that businesses must obtain consent to collect data, clearly explain how it's used, and allow individuals to access, correct, or delete their information. GDPR mandates strict data security measures and imposes heavy fines on organizations that fail to comply, promoting accountability and transparency in how personal data is handled across the EU and beyond.
