The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Available is a comprehensive data protection regulation that the European Union (EU) introduced in 2018. Its goal is to safeguard EU residents' privacy and personal data by establishing tight regulations and criteria for how enterprises gather, process, store, and transfer personal data. Individuals have more control over their data under the GDPR, which requires enterprises to acquire consent, offer transparent information about data processing, and apply suitable security measures. GDPR noncompliance can result in hefty fines and penalties.
