General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

GDPR

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive data privacy regulation adopted by the European Union (EU) in 2018 to safeguard the personal data of EU citizens. It was designed to give individuals greater control over their personal information while imposing strict obligations on businesses and organizations that process this data.

GDPR compliance is the adherence to the regulation's rules and principles, ensuring that data is collected, stored, and processed lawfully, transparently, and securely. Organizations must obtain explicit consent from individuals before processing their data and must provide clear, concise privacy policies. Additionally, they are required to implement robust data protection measures, promptly report data breaches, and appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO) to oversee compliance.

Failure to comply with GDPR can lead to severe consequences, with potential fines ranging from €10 million to €20 million or 4% of the organization's global annual revenue. Beyond the financial penalties, the repercussions on your brand, image, and reputation could be substantial. Non-compliance may erode customer trust, resulting in diminished loyalty and a negative perception of your organization's commitment to data privacy and security. The damage to your reputation may take years to repair, affecting current and future business opportunities.
