These are intended to help organizations deal with data breaches, protect the personal data of EU citizens, and adhere to principles of data minimization and data accuracy. GDPR also requires the reporting of data incidents within 72 hours, regardless of the cause.

Under the GDPR, personal data must be:

– Accurately and carefully collected.

– Processed in a transparent, consistent, and fair manner.

– Erased or destroyed where no longer needed and subject to regular monitoring.

Organizations that process personal data must disclose their contact information to the individual or their representative. They must also inform individuals of their right to access their personal data, request rectification of inaccurate data, and exercise the right to be forgotten.

The GDPR imposes significant fines for non-compliance, including up to 4% of global annual revenue or €20 million (whichever is greater), as well as the possibility of imprisonment for up to 2 years.

These conditions include having fewer than 250 employees, processing only data that is necessary for the performance of a contract, and not processing sensitive data.
