General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a law in the European Union that protects individuals' personal data. It gives people greater control over their information, requiring organizations to obtain consent before collecting or processing data. GDPR mandates transparency, meaning companies must clearly explain how they use personal information. It also grants individuals the right to access, correct, and delete their data. Non-compliance can lead to significant fines. Overall, GDPR aims to enhance privacy and data security for individuals in the digital age, ensuring that personal information is handled responsibly.
