How does this affect you?
As an individual, GDPR gives you more control over your personal data and how it is used by organisations. You have the right to know what information is being collected about you, how it is being used, and who it is being shared with. You also have the right to request that your data be deleted or corrected if it is inaccurate. It is important to be aware of your rights under the GDPR and to exercise them if necessary. It also means that organisations have a responsibility to dispose of that information when it is no longer required, relevant, or has served its purpose.
How does this affect businesses?
GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) affects businesses in various ways. It requires businesses to obtain consent from individuals before collecting and processing their personal data and to implement measures to ensure the security of the data. Non-compliance can result in hefty fines. However, GDPR also provides opportunities for businesses to build trust with their customers by being transparent about their data practices and respecting individuals’ rights to privacy.
It is the responsibility of businesses and organisations to dispose of data in a secure and appropriate manner and to inform individuals about how their data is being used. Overall, GDPR has the potential to improve data protection and privacy for individuals, while also promoting accountability and transparency for businesses. Failure to comply with GDPR can have serious consequences for businesses, including reputational damage and financial penalties. Therefore, it is important for businesses to understand and comply with GDPR regulations to protect both their customers and their own interests.
