Being a user, are you not worried about the security or confidentiality of your personal data? Don’t you think that someone from the company only can misuse the information entered by you as a business owner? Or is this the only reason why individual’s information is acquired by the company? Same questions were asked by EU (European Union) and thus on May 2018 it changed all the ways with which companies collect , store and use the customers data, since than GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) act came into effect.
What is General Data Protection Regulation Act? Which Companies got affected?
GDPR has been implemented in all the local privacy laws across whole EU and EEA region, giving the citizens more control over their personal data and information, and other continents. Name, email address, physical address, religion, cookies, photos, sexual orientation etc. is the information that comes under GDPR.
There are 8 basic rights of GDPR:
Right to Access, states that individuals have the right to access to their personal data and to question ask companies about how their data is being used by the company. Also, it is the duty of businesses to offer this information in electronic form and with no charges, if requested.
Right to Object, states that individuals can request to stop the processing of their data for direct marketing and it should be stopped as soon as the request is received.
Right to get Informed, states that individuals must be informed before data is gathered and it’s up to the consumers if they want data to be gathered or not.
Right of withdrawal, states that if consumers withdraw their consent from a company to use their personal data, then it should be done with immediate effect.
Right to update, states that if a customer wants to make changes or update in their information, should be done.
