What is GDPR?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a regulation in EU law on data protection and privacy. It aims to give control to individuals over their personal data and to simplify the regulatory environment for international business by unifying the regulation within the EU.

Key Principles of GDPR

• Lawfulness, Fairness, and Transparency: Personal data must be processed lawfully, fairly, and in a transparent manner.
• Purpose Limitation: Data collected for specified, legitimate purposes must not be further processed in a manner incompatible with those purposes.
• Data Minimization: Only data that is necessary for the purposes of processing should be collected.

Understanding these principles is crucial for compliance and to avoid hefty fines.
