Data privacy and protection has been a hot topic in the market since the time when the internet was in its infancy. It is the duty of companies to keep personal information of its customers private so that their identities are safe and protected and companies reputation untarnished.<\/span><\/p>\n

The European Union has always been quite proactive when it comes to keeping the privacy of its citizens intact. Its data protection laws have been regarded as a gold standard all over the world. In 2016, the EU adopted the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Law, replacing the 1995 Data Protection Directive, and gave its member States two years time (ending on 25th May 2018) to ensure that it is fully implementable in their countries.<\/span><\/p>\n

GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)<\/b> is an act under EU law implemented on <\/span>May 25th, 2018,<\/b> to address privacy and data protection for all European citizens. The purpose is to put some restrictions on the organizations (whose primary focus is to collect information about their target markets and to pitch them their products and services) and give control to citizens for their personal information and details. Through this act, organizations can’t use personal data without the prior acceptance\/permission of the individuals as well as (also) the organizations cannot compel in any way to share the information. European citizens can now enjoy privacy as one of the fundamental rights.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is GDPR compliance?<\/b><\/p>\n

In the act of GDPR, Organizations may collect personal data from a consumer under strict conditions while making sure the information is gathered legally. Organizations will be obliged to respect the rights of data owners, protecting their data from exploitation and misuse.<\/span><\/p>\n

This act has come up with a total of 173 recitals<\/a> to protect the fundamental right of EU citizens to maintain the secrecy of their private confidential data.<\/span><\/p>\n

The set of principles that comes under GDPR: lawfulness, fairness, transparency, data minimization, purpose limitation, accuracy, storage limitation, security, and accountability.<\/span><\/p>\n

The consumer now has the right to data portability that allows them to move their information from one source to another.<\/span><\/p>\n
