What is GDPR?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive data protection law that sets requirements for how organizations collect, process, store, and protect personal data of individuals in the European Union.
Enforced since May 25, 2018, GDPR applies to all organizations processing personal data of EU residents, regardless of where the organization is located.
The regulation establishes seven key principles for data processing and eight fundamental rights for data subjects.
Non-compliance can result in fines up to €20 million or 4% of global annual turnover, whichever is higher.
For UAE organizations serving EU customers, GDPR compliance is essential for international business operations.
