Why is GDPR in place?

GDPR is all about protecting people’s privacy in the EU. It lays out clear rules to make sure personal data is handled legally and safely. The regulation gives individuals more control over their data, with rights to access, correct, and even delete their information if needed.

GDPR also pushes businesses to be more transparent and accountable, requiring them to keep thorough records and use strong data protection practices. By aligning data protection laws across Europe, GDPR makes it easier for businesses to follow the rules and better safeguards everyone’s data.
