Daily Term: GDPR
GDPR
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a European Union law that governs data protection and privacy. It mandates rules for collecting, storing, and processing personal data, requiring user consent, data minimization, and the right to be forgotten. For example, a website must get explicit consent before tracking EU users. GDPR ensures user privacy but imposes strict requirements and penalties for non-compliance on organizations.
