The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is an EU legal framework that regulates the protection of personal data in companies and organizations. It entered into force on May 25, 2018 and contains rules for the processing, storage and transfer of personal data of EU residents.
The GDPR applies to all companies that process personal data of EU citizens, regardless of whether the company is based inside or outside the EU. It affects small and medium-sized enterprises as well as large corporations.
The GDPR grants individuals a number of rights, including the right to access their stored data, the right to rectify incorrect data, the right to have their data deleted ("right to be forgotten"), the right to data portability and the right to object to the processing of their data.
Companies must take various measures to comply with the GDPR. These include appointing a data protection officer (if required), conducting data protection impact assessments, implementing appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data, obtaining data subjects' consent for data processing, and reporting data breaches.
Violations of the GDPR can result in fines of up to €20 million or 4% of the company's annual global turnover, whichever is greater. The actual amount of the fine depends on the nature, severity, and duration of the breach.
A data processor is a person or organization that processes personal data on behalf of a data controller. The processor acts according to the instructions of the controller and is subject to certain legal obligations under the GDPR.
The length of time for which personal data may be stored depends on the purpose of the data processing. Companies must store personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purpose of the processing. In some cases, specific retention periods may be imposed by other laws or regulations.
A data breach refers to a security incident in which personal data is inadvertently or unlawfully accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed. When a data breach occurs and high risks to data subjects are expected, there is an obligation to assess and report it to the relevant supervisory authority and, in some cases, to the data subjects.
Internally, it is an important task of an internal or external data protection officer pursuant to Art. 39 (1) GDPR to point out compliance with data protection provisions. 17 Supervisory authorities monitor compliance with data protection regulations on the government side.
