Section 01

What is GDPR?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive data protection law that came into effect on May 25, 2018. It applies to all organizations operating within the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA), as well as organizations outside these regions that offer goods or services to EU/EEA residents.

GDPR gives individuals greater control over their personal data and establishes strict rules for how organizations can collect, process, store, and share this data.

Key principles of GDPR:

  • Lawfulness, fairness, and transparency
  • Purpose limitation - data collected for specific purposes
  • Data minimization - only collect what's necessary
  • Accuracy - keep personal data accurate and up to date
  • Storage limitation - don't keep data longer than needed
  • Integrity and confidentiality - ensure appropriate security
