GDPR

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive EU privacy law that governs how organizations collect, process, and store personal data of EU residents. Key principles include data minimization, purpose limitation, storage limitation, and rights for individuals (access, deletion, portability). Violations can result in fines of up to €20 million or 4% of global annual turnover. GDPR applies to any organization processing EU residents' data, regardless of where the organization is located.
