Definition
What is General Data Protection Regulation?
GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is the EU's comprehensive data privacy law that governs how organisations worldwide handle personal data of EU residents. It mandates clear consent, transparent data usage, strong security controls, data minimisation, and individual rights over personal information, including the right to access, rectification, erasure, and data portability.
Non-compliance can result in fines up to 4% of global annual revenue or 20 million euros, whichever is greater. Since its enforcement in 2018, GDPR has resulted in over 4 billion euros in cumulative fines. The regulation has become a global benchmark for data privacy, influencing similar legislation worldwide.
