GDPR
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a European Union (EU) law designed to protect people’s personal data and privacy. It came into effect on May 25, 2018, and applies to all organizations that collect, process, or store personal data of individuals in the EU or European Economic Area (EEA) — regardless of where the business itself is located.
What are the GDPR warning signs?
GDPR red flags are warning signs indicating potential non-compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
These flags can be related to a company's data handling practices, security measures, or transparency. Identifying these red flags early is crucial for businesses to avoid potential fines and legal issues.
