General Data Protection Regulation ( GDPR )
The European Parliament, the Council of the European Union and the European Commission brought in GDPR or General Data Protection Regulation to maximize individual’s right to privacy by protecting their data within the European Union.
What does GDPR do?
It prepares guidelines for rightful collection, storing and processing personal data of individuals. The purpose of GDPR is for citizens to have control over their own data.
What are its benefits?
Security
The first and foremost benefit of GDPR is security. There’s a protection against unwarranted use of personal data.
Empowerment
People know that their data is intact. GDPR focuses on ensuring the individual’s data is secure.
Unification
GDPR ensures that the laws within and outside of the European Union come together.
Why GDPR?
