GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation. It is a set of rules and guidelines introduced by the European Union (EU) to protect the personal data of its citizens. These rules and regulations apply to all organizations that collect, process and store personal data of individuals residing in the EU. This gives individuals more control over their personal data and increases the accountability of the organizations that handle it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Among other things, the regulation stipulates that the express consent of data subjects must be obtained before personal data is collected, that appropriate technical and organizational measures must be taken to ensure data security, and that data subjects have the right to access, modify and delete their data. In addition, companies must report data breaches and notify data subjects within a specified time frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Compliance with the GDPR is important for any company that handles the personal data of EU citizens, as non-compliance can result in significant fines and reputational damage. The maximum penalty for non-compliance is up to 4 % of an organization's annual global turnover or \u20ac20 million (whichever is greater). Therefore, it is imperative that organizations ensure that they comply with GDPR regulations to protect the personal data of their customers, employees and partners and avoid financial and reputational consequences.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
