General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a law in the European Union that protects individuals' personal data and privacy. Enforced since May 2018, it gives people control over their personal information, such as names, emails, and online activities. Businesses must obtain consent to collect data, provide clear information about its use, and allow people to access, correct, or delete their data. Violations can result in significant fines. Overall, GDPR aims to enhance privacy rights and ensure that personal data is handled responsibly and securely by organizations.
