General Data Protection Regulation

General
Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a directive that will update
and unify data privacy laws across in the European Union. GDPR was approved
by the EU Parliament on April 14, 2016 and goes into effect on May 25, 2018. GDPR replaces the EU Data Protection Directive of 1995. The new directive focuses on keeping businesses more transparent and expanding the privacy rights of data subjects. Mandates in the General Data Protection Regulation apply to all data produced by EU citizens, whether or not the company collecting the data in question is located within the EU, as well as all people whose data is stored within the EU, whether or not they are actually EU citizens.
Under GDPR, companies may not store or use
any person's personally identifiable information without express consent from
that person. When a data breach has been detected, the company is required by
the General Data Protection Regulation to notify all affected people and the
supervising authority within 72 hours.
In addition, companies that conduct data
processing or monitor data subjects on a large scale must appoint a data
protection officer (DPO). The DPO is responsible for ensuring the company
complies with GDRP. If a company does not comply with the GDPR when it
becomes effective, legal consequences can include fines of up to 20 million
euros or 4 percent of annual global turnover.
Under the General Data Protection
Regulation, data subject rights include:
Right to be forgotten - data subjects
can request personally identifiable data to be erased from a company's
storage.
Right of access - data subjects
can review the data that an organization has stored about them.
Right to object - data subjects
can refuse permission for a company to use or process the subject's personal
data.
Right to rectification - data subjects
can expect inaccurate personal information to be corrected.
Right of portability - data subjects
can access the personal data that a company has about them and transfer it.
Some
critics have expressed concern about the United Kingdom's upcoming withdrawal
from the EU and wonder whether this will affect the country's compliance with
the GDPR. However, because companies in the U.K. often do business with
customers or other organizations in EU member states, it is expected that
businesses in the U.K. will still need to comply with the General Data
Protection Regulation. |
