European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

The European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a law designed to protect the personal information of individuals in the European Union. It gives people more control over their data, requiring companies to obtain consent before collecting or using personal information. Organizations must clearly explain how they use data and allow individuals the right to access, correct, or delete their data. Non-compliance can lead to significant fines. Ultimately, GDPR aims to enhance privacy rights and ensures that individuals know how their data is handled and safeguarded.
