The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), enacted by the European Union (EU) in 2018, represents a monumental shift in the landscape of data privacy and digital trust. This comprehensive regulation not only enhances the rights of individuals regarding their data but also imposes stringent obligations on organisations handling such data.
GDPR’s key components outline essential principles and requirements for organisations handling personal data within the EU and EEA. By adhering to these components, organisations can uphold data privacy rights, enhance transparency, and foster trust with individuals.
