What is GDPR?

You've heard the acronym and seen plenty of articles about it on the internet, but what is it really? The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a privacy regulation that affords certain rights to European residents and imposes obligations on companies that do business with European residents. Here's our take on those rights and obligations in our own words.

Customer Rights

• Transparency or the right for individuals to know what is happening with their personal data
• Consent or the right for individuals to choose what personal data is collected about them and to change that choice
• Update and Erasure or the right for individuals to update or request deletion of their personal data
• Portability or the right for individuals to request a machine readable copy of their personal data

Company Obligations

• Due Care requires that companies safeguard personal data
• Minimization requires that companies only collect personal data that is necessary for its intended purpose
• Privacy by Design requires that companies analyze what risks affect personal data and work to minimize those risks
• Notification requires that authorities are notified timely of any data breaches that affect personal data
