What is the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)?

image (81)

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a law from the European Union (EU) that regulates how organizations within the EU and beyond manage the personal data of EU residents. It regulates the transfer of personal data beyond the EU borders and seeks to empower citizens and residents by restoring control over their personal information. GDPR enforces strict guidelines on collecting, processing, and storing personal data.

GDPR specifies personal data as any information that can identify an individual, including both direct and indirect identifiers. Direct identifiers include unique data points such as names or credit card numbers. In contrast, indirect identifiers can consist of characteristics like physical traits and dates of birth that, while not unique, can still identify someone.

Within the GDPR framework, a data subject refers to the individual associated with a particular piece of data. For instance, if a company gathers email addresses, the individuals owning those addresses are considered the data subjects.

While GDPR originates from Europe, its implications extend globally. It applies to any organization that collects or utilizes the personal data of EU residents, regardless of their location.

Who Does GDPR Apply To?

Group 1321314871

GDPR is applicable to any organization, regardless of where it is based, that handles the personal data of EU residents. This includes businesses, non-profits, and public authorities handling data related to EU individuals. Organizations that provide goods/services to EU residents or track their behavior are also required to adhere to GDPR.

Principles of GDPR

Group 1321314850-1

Lawfulness, Fairness, and Transparency

Before collecting data, you must inform data subjects clearly and concisely about the types of data you will collect and how you plan to use it.
Group 1321314853

Purpose Limitation

Businesses should only collect the personal information necessary for a specific process or transaction, and no more.
Group 1321314851 (1)

Data Minimization

Similar to purpose limitation, data minimization means collecting only the minimum amount of personal data needed to provide your service.
Group 1321314855

Data Accuracy

Collected personal information must be accurate and kept up to date. The data controller must take all reasonable steps to promptly correct or erase inaccurate data.
Group 1321314854

Storage Limitation

In addition to collecting minimal personal data, businesses must establish time limits for retaining data, ensuring compliance with the "right to be forgotten."
Group 1321314852

Integrity and Confidentiality

As mandated by GDPR, data controllers must securely process and store personal data, safeguarding it from loss, unauthorized access, or damage.

Accountability

The data controller, your business, is ultimately responsible for the safe, secure collection, retention, and destruction of personal information.
