What is GDPR?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive data protection law enacted by the European Union (EU) in May 2018. It aims to enhance individuals' control over their personal data and unify data protection regulations across EU member states. The GDPR applies to any organization that processes the personal data of EU residents, regardless of where the organization is based.
Key Principles of GDPR
- Lawfulness, Fairness, and Transparency: Personal data must be processed lawfully, fairly, and transparently. Organizations must inform individuals about how their data will be used.
- Purpose Limitation: Personal data should only be collected for specified, legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner incompatible with those purposes.
- Data Minimization: Organizations should only collect personal data that is necessary for the purposes for which it is processed.
- Accuracy: Personal data must be accurate and kept up to date. Inaccurate data should be rectified or erased without delay.
- Storage Limitation: Personal data should be kept in a form that allows identification of individuals for no longer than necessary for the purposes for which the data is processed.
- Integrity and Confidentiality: Personal data must be processed securely to protect against unauthorized access, loss, or damage.
- Accountability: Organizations are responsible for complying with GDPR principles and must be able to demonstrate their compliance.
