What is GDPR?

The General Data Protection Regulation 2018 (GDPR) is the foremost part of the European Union’s legislative framework for consumer data privacy and security
It replaces the previous Data Protection Directive 1995, with new tighter rules and more enforcement teeth
And, together with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), it means that the EU now has some of the strictest data protection laws in the world

GDPR Data Categories Affected by Law

Personal data that can identify an individual (eg. name, address, ID number, email)
Web data, such as location, IP address, cookie data, and RFID tags
Special Category Information like health and generic data, political opinions, biometric data, race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation

GDPR Eight Data Subject Rights

Right to be informed - companies must be transparent in their use of personal data
Right to access - individuals must know exactly what data is stored and how it is processed
Right to erasure - individuals must be able to correct inaccurate or incomplete data
Right to restrict processing - individuals must be able to delete or remove any personal data on request
Right to restrict processing - individuals can block or restrict the processing of their data
Right to portability - individuals must be able to retain and reuse data for their own purposes
Right to object - individuals are entitled to object to the use of their personal data
Right of automated decision making and profiling - individuals are protected from the risks of potentially damaging decisions being made without human intervention

GDPR Severe Financial Penalties

Companies may well have to invest considerable time and money integrating GDPR compliance into operational procedures
This is because the EU has designed financial sanctions, so as to make GDPR non-compliance costly - up to €20 million or 4% of the global annual turnover (whichever is higher)
The EU, together with subordinate national data protection agencies, has ramped up enforcement efforts in recent years
Total GDPR fines have grown from $179 million to $1.2 billion between January 2021 and January 2022 - a sevenfold increase

GDPR for Non-EU Companies

Most overseas companies that do business within the EU must actively respect the GDPR protocol
This includes those offering EU data subjects goods or services (even when free) and those monitoring the behavior of individuals within the block
This is regardless of whether the company has an EU office or not - even having a website available in the EU
can be enough for liability.
Regardless of where you're located, it's crucial to ensure that you are fully compliant with GDPR
