Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is an EU regulation that governs data protection for all citizens within the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA). Its main objective is to give people control over their personal data while simplifying the regulatory environment for international businesses through a unified regulation within the EU. It replaces the Data Protection Directive (Directive 95/46/EC) of 1995 and has been in force since May 25, 2018.
What does the GDPR regulate?
The GDPR regulates the processing of personal data by public and private organizations, including the collection, storage, transmission, or use of such data. It grants individuals the right to access their personal data, request its deletion, and object to its processing. Furthermore, it obliges organizations to report data breaches to data protection authorities.
Who does the GDPR apply to?
The GDPR applies to all organizations processing personal data of individuals residing in the EU, regardless of where the organization is located. This means that companies outside the EU must also comply with the GDPR if they offer goods or services to EU citizens or monitor the behavior of EU citizens.
What sanctions apply for non-compliance with the GDPR?
The GDPR provides for significant penalties for non-compliance. Organizations that violate the GDPR can be fined up to 4% of their worldwide annual turnover or €20 million, whichever is higher.
