Ongoing digital transformation has carried us right into the data-centric age: personal data is everywhere. Data subjects do not always realize how their data is handled, or who has access to it. What is even worse, organizations are sometimes careless about how they handle this data \u2014 and how they bring it online. That creates a surge of opportunities for data hunters of all kinds. The EU General Data Protection Regulation is an attempt to address those problems.<\/p>\n
GDPR suggests an ongoing process focused on ensuring that data subjects have real control over their personally identifiable information \u2014 and ensuring companies use it lawfully and handle it securely. It helps give both data controllers and data processors a clearer understanding of their responsibilities.<\/p>\n
