GDPR
European data rules
GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation, a European Union law governing how organizations collect, store, and use personal data.
It requires explicit consent for data collection, grants individuals rights over their information, and imposes heavy fines for violations.
Since taking effect in 2018, it has influenced privacy laws worldwide: We updated our privacy policy to comply with GDPR.
