GDPR Policy
An information revolution is taking place in the data-driven world around us, where technologists are creating, collecting, and analyzing vast amounts of data about people, their locations, goods, or services. We urgently need to include key ideas and tenets in our already established data management rules.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has been implemented throughout the European Union as of May 25, 2018, in order to address the major issues.
The GDPR outlines the rights of the data subject, or the people whose personal information is being processed. Individuals now have greater control over their data because of these expanded rights, including
- the requirement for express consent from a person before their data is processed
- easier access to the data subject's personal information
- the right to be forgotten, to be corrected, and to be erased
- the ability to protest, especially when personal information is used for 'profiling'
- the freedom to transfer data across service providers
- In accordance with the rule, controllers—those in charge of data processing—must inform individuals about how their data is being processed clearly and understandably.
