GDPR
GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a law established by the European Union in 2018, providing comprehensive data protection and privacy rights to its citizens. It applies to all organizations handling EU citizens' data, regardless of their geographical location. It's the first law of its scope and scale, globally pioneering in mandating organizations to maintain transparency about data usage and granting individuals control over their personal data. It significantly transformed global privacy norms, influencing other jurisdictions to adopt similar legislation, earning its status as a benchmark in the international governance of data protection.
