The acronym GDPR refers to the General Data Protection Regulation, a comprehensive data privacy law in the European Union (EU). Enforced in May 2018, GDPR establishes guidelines for the collection, storage, and processing of personal data of EU citizens. Its main objectives are to enhance user privacy, empower individuals with greater control over their data, and simplify data protection regulations across Europe. Organizations failing to comply with GDPR face significant fines, emphasizing the importance of responsible data management and user consent.
