Data Privacy – GDPR Compliance

GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is a regulation that mandates businesses to protect the personal data and privacy of EU citizens in transactions within EU member states.

GDPR applies globally — not just to EU-based businesses, but to any organization worldwide that targets goods and services to EU citizens. It affects both controllers and processors handling personal data of European individuals.

The penalties for non-compliance are significant and vary based on factors such as the duration of the infringement, the number of individuals affected, and the severity of the impact.
