GDPR
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive privacy and security law enforced across the European Union (EU), designed to protect individuals’ personal data and ensure transparency in how businesses handle it. GDPR compliance is not only a legal obligation but also a significant trust-building element for organizations interacting with EU residents.
