GDPR
Secure Your Business with GDPR Compliance
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) aims to revolutionize corporate attitudes towards data privacy and security. Since its enforcement in the EU, companies have been more constrained in their use of customers’ personal data compared to previous practices. Enhancing data security, privacy & management standards in handling and processing customer data has been a longstanding necessity.
Why Do You Need GDPR?
GDPR Compliance Is A Must For Businesses In Europe
GDPR compliance is essential to avoid penalties and obligations that could profoundly impact their operations. The regulation is applicable to all companies, irrespective of their location, that store, process, or handle the personal data of EU citizens.
GDPR compliance goes beyond simply displaying a cookie notice on your website. European citizens possess the right to request their personal data in a transparent and comprehensible manner, along with details on data processing, its purposes, and whether it has been shared with third parties.
