The GDPR imposes new rules on organizations in the European Union (EU) and those that offer goods and services to people in the EU, or that collect and analyze data tied to people in the EU, no matter where the organizations are located.
1. Does the GDPR apply to your organization if you operate outside the EU?
Quick Insight:
Every business that is subject to the GDPR must clearly communicate their data policies; have a permissible ground, such as consent from individuals, to collect and use personal data; give individuals access to their data; provide reasonable safeguards to protect data along with timely notice of breaches; and make special provisions for individuals when data profiling is used to process applications.
2. What are the primary requirements that the GDPR places upon businesses?
Quick Insight:
The GDPR gives individuals the right to withdraw their consent to data collection, correct errors, transfer their data to another company, or have their data removed entirely. Individuals also have the right to know what data is being collected, how it is processed, and if the data has been endangered.
3. What rights does the GDPR confer to individuals?
4. Who enforces the GDPR and what are the risks if your organization does not comply?
Quick Insight:
The GDPR creates an obligation for each EU member state to establish a Supervisory Authority (SA), which will be responsible for monitoring compliance and will have the authority to levy fines up to €20 million or 4% of a company’s annual sales, whichever is greater.
5. What is a Data Protection Impact Assessment and how do you know if your company needs one?
Quick Insight:
A Data Protection Impact Assessment is an assessment of the impact that processing may have on the protection of personal data, and is required whenever processing poses a high risk to the rights of individuals, such as when processing high volumes of individual data or processing sensitive data.
