GDPR is a comprehensive data privacy law enacted by the European Union in 2018 that governs how organizations collect, store, and process the personal data of EU residents. It grants individuals rights such as access to their data, correction, deletion ('right to be forgotten'), and data portability, and imposes strict consent and breach-notification requirements on companies. Professionals in legal, compliance, IT security, and data management roles study GDPR to ensure their organizations avoid the substantial fines that can result from non-compliance.
