What is the GDPR?
The GDPR, or General Data Protection Regulation, is a European regulation implemented in May 2018 that sets standards for the protection of personal data. This regulation applies to all companies that handle EU citizens’ data, regardless of their location. It aims to give individuals more control over their personal data and to create a homogenous regulatory environment for international companies.
Main Aspects of the RGPD
1. Explicit Consent: Companies must obtain clear and explicit consent before processing personal data.
2. Right to be Forgotten: Allows individuals to request the deletion of their personal data.
3. Data Portability: Individuals can move, copy or transfer personal data between different services.
4. Security Breach Notification: Companies must notify data protection authorities of any breach within 72 hours.
5. Proactive Accountability: Organizations must demonstrate that they comply with the GDPR and keep records of their processing activities.
