General Data Protection Regulation
GDPR Essentials
What you need to know
In today’s data-driven world, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) stands as a critical framework for protecting personal data and privacy. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), a comprehensive data protection law enforced in the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA), has set the bar high when it comes to protecting individuals’ privacy. GDPR compliance is all about following a set of policies, processes, and practices that ensure personal data is collected, used, and secured in a lawful, transparent, and responsible manner.
Initially introduced in 1995, this policy has undergone several modifications to adapt to the evolving digital landscape. The latest version, which came into effect on May 25, 2018, significantly strengthens the protection of individuals within the European Union (EU). The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies to all organizations that process the personal data of EU residents, regardless of whether the organization itself is based within the EU or outside it. The primary aim of GDPR is to enhance privacy rights and give individuals more control over their personal data, ensuring a high standard of data protection across the EU.
The key aspects of GDPR compliance include:
Lawful processing of personal data
Organizations must have a legal basis, such as consent, contract, legal obligation, or legitimate interest, to collect and process personal data.
Transparency and information provision
Individuals must be provided with clear and comprehensive information about how their personal data is being collected, used, and protected.
Data subject rights
Individuals have rights under GDPR, such as the right to access, rectify, erase, and port their personal data, as well as the right to object to or restrict the processing of their data.
Data protection principles
Personal data must be processed in a lawful, fair, and transparent manner, collected for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes, and kept accurate, secure, and only for as long as necessary.
Data protection impact assessments
Organizations must conduct impact assessments for processing activities that are likely to result in a high risk to individuals’ rights and freedoms.
Appointment of a data protection officer
Organizations with large-scale processing of personal data or core activities that involve regular and systematic monitoring of individuals are required to appoint a data protection officer.
Data breach notification
Organizations must notify the relevant supervisory authority and, in some cases, the affected individuals, of any personal data breaches that pose a risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals.
Cross-border data transfers
Organizations must ensure that any transfers of personal data outside the EU/EEA comply with GDPR requirements, such as using approved data transfer mechanisms.
