GDPR
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a data privacy regulation formally enacted by the European Union in 2018, applicable to all organizations and enterprises that process personal data of EU residents regardless of their location. The regulation establishes fundamental principles for the collection, storage, processing, and transfer of personal data, grants data subjects rights including access, rectification, and erasure, and prescribes strict penalty mechanisms for violations. It is one of the most widely influential data protection regulations in the world.
