GDPR Compliance

In effect since 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a European Union (EU) privacy and security law. Though it was passed by the European Parliament, GDPR affects businesses outside the EU, as well. 

GDPR tightened the already strict privacy laws across the EU and sets regulations about what companies can do with personal consumer data, such as: 

• Names 
• User names 
• Phone numbers
• IP addresses or locations 
• Personal health information
• Physical attributes

Under GDPR, a company must have a legally valid reason for collecting and retaining personal data, and they must explain this to customers or users in simple terms. Consumers can request to have the data that a company collects about them modified or deleted altogether. 

Any business that deals with the personal data of EU residents must comply with GDPR, regardless of where that business is located. Thus, GDPR has global implications for how companies collect, store, and utilize consumer data. A firm that is found in violation of GDPR can face a penalty of up to 20 million Euros or 4% of global revenues.
