The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a European Union regulation that aims to give individuals more control over their personal data. It sets guidelines for the collection, processing, and storage of personal information and applies to businesses and organizations that handle data of EU citizens.
GDPR applies to any organization, regardless of its location, that processes the personal data of individuals within the European Union. If you collect or process data of EU citizens, you need to comply with GDPR.
Personal data includes any information that can identify an individual directly or indirectly. This encompasses names, email addresses, phone numbers, IP addresses, and more.
GDPR grants individuals several rights, including the right to access their data, the right to be forgotten (data erasure), the right to data portability, and the right to be informed about how their data is used.
To comply with GDPR, consider the following steps:
- Implement clear data protection policies.
- Obtain explicit consent for data processing.
- Appoint a Data Protection Officer if necessary.
- Regularly update your privacy policy.
- Establish security measures to protect personal data.
A DPIA is a process for assessing the impact of data processing activities on the protection of personal data. It helps identify and mitigate risks to data subjects’ rights and freedoms.
