What is the GDPR?
The GDPR, which stands for General Data Protection Regulation, is a comprehensive set of regulations implemented by the European Union (EU) to protect the privacy and personal data of EU citizens. It was introduced on May 25, 2018, replacing the Data Protection Directive of 1995. The primary goal of the GDPR is to give individuals more control over their personal data and ensure that organizations handle it responsibly.
