The GDPR is a law that protects individuals’ personal data and privacy rights within the European Union. It requires organizations to handle personal information responsibly, obtain clear consent before collecting or processing data, and allow people to access, correct, or delete their data. The regulation also mandates transparency about how data is used and imposes strict penalties for violations. Overall, GDPR empowers individuals with greater control over their personal information and promotes responsible data management by organizations across the EU.
