European Union GDPR Enforcement

The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) enforces rules to protect personal data and privacy. Companies handling EU residents’ data must be transparent, obtain consent, and secure information properly. Enforcement involves regulatory authorities investigating companies for violations and imposing fines or penalties if rules are broken. Organizations must also notify authorities and affected individuals about data breaches promptly. This framework ensures individuals have control over their personal data, promotes accountability, and encourages organizations to handle data responsibly. Overall, GDPR enforcement aims to uphold privacy rights while establishing consistent data protection standards across the EU.
