European Union General Data Protection Regulation

The European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a law that protects individuals' personal data and privacy within the EU. It requires organizations to be transparent about how they collect, process, and store personal information. People have greater control over their data, including rights to access, correct, or delete it. GDPR also mandates data protection measures and imposes penalties for violations. Its aim is to ensure individuals’ privacy rights are respected in a digital world, fostering trust in how personal data is managed by organizations operating in or dealing with the EU.
