GDPR: achieve compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation
The General Data Protection Regulation is the European Union’s key privacy law, in effect since 2018. It defines data protection principles, user rights, and accountability measures for organizations. Each EU member state enforces the regulation through its own data protection authority. Widely regarded as the global standard for privacy, the GDPR has inspired similar frameworks worldwide.
Common GDPR questions and answersVALUING PRIVACY
The GDPR applies to any organization that processes or monitors the personal data of individuals in the European Union (EU), regardless of where the company is based. This extraterritorial reach means non-EU businesses must also comply when handling EU user data. Organizations must have a legal basis for data processing.
The regulation strengthens individuals’ privacy rights, limits unnecessary or unauthorized data use, and promotes the secure, lawful, and transparent flow of personal data worldwide. To transfer data outside the EU, organizations must rely on an adequacy decision, standard contractual clauses (SCCs), or obtain explicit user consent.
