General Data Protection Regulation and related acts

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a European law designed to protect personal data and privacy. It gives individuals control over their personal information, ensuring that businesses must obtain consent to collect, use, and share this data. Key rights include the ability to access, correct, or delete personal data. Related acts, like the Data Protection Act 2018 in the UK, complement GDPR by outlining specific regulations and enforcement. Overall, GDPR aims to enhance privacy and data security, holding organizations accountable for how they handle personal information.
