The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a European Union regulation that came into effect on 25 May 2018, designed to protect the privacy and personal data of individuals within the EU and EEA. GDPR sets strict requirements on how organizations collect, process, store, and transfer personal data.
Implementing GDPR compliance ensures that your business practices are designed with data protection, transparency, and accountability at the core. By following GDPR, organizations establish trust with customers and demonstrate responsibility in handling sensitive personal information.
GDPR applies to all organizations, regardless of size or sector, that handle EU residents’ personal data — whether the business is established inside or outside the EU.
