Ensuring Comprehensive GDPR Compliance
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) represents a crucial evolution of data protection laws, building on the 1995 directive (95/46/EC) to better safeguard personal information. Implemented on May 25, 2018, by the European Parliament, the Council of the EU, and the European Commission, GDPR enhances the rights of individuals and strengthens data protection measures both within the EU and for international entities handling EU citizens' data.
Core Principles of GDPR
- Fair and Transparent Processing : Organizations are required to process personal data in a manner that is both lawful and transparent, ensuring individuals are aware of how their data is used.
- Empowerment of Data Subjects :Individuals have the right to access their personal data and understand its usage, fostering greater control over their information.
- Data Minimization : Companies should only collect data that is essential for specified purposes, ensuring unnecessary data collection is avoided.
- Retention Limitations : Personal data must be retained only as long as necessary, with obligations to securely delete it when it is no longer required.
- Breach Notification Protocols : In the event of a data breach, organizations must notify affected individuals and relevant authorities within 72 hours, depending on the severity of the breach.
