What is the GDPR?
The GDPR stands for the General Data Protection Regulation; this regulation for online privacy has generated a lot of buzz over the last few years. It is a regulation based in the EU. Any business that has customers or interacts with people in the EU needs to be aware of this set of regulations.
“But what IS it?”
Great question! The GDPR is a set of regulations that dictates what companies can do with your personal data. Basically, the EU ruled in 2016 that you as the consumer owns your data. That means that you are in control of your information. If you don’t want a particular company to have information about you, then you have the right to contact them and ask them to remove it. This set of regulations affects any business that works with EU citizens. It is rapidly growing to be the world standard for data protection.
Think of this like a really intense and standardized format for a privacy policy. In general, this dictates things like website cookies, PII information storage and the right to accurate data. If your information – like your credit score – is wrong, under the GDPR you have the right to inform the business of your proper information.
You also have the right to be forgotten. That means that if you don’t want a company to have your information, you simply have to tell them. They are required under this set of regulations to remove your private information from their servers.
Why not in the USA?
The next logical question is to ask, “Why don’t we have something like this in the United States?” The short answer is “Our Supreme Court.”
Let’s explain.
Unlike in the EU, the United States supreme court did not rule that the information about you as an individual is yours. Instead, they ruled that any information stored on a company’s server is theirs. That means when they collect information about you, you might be informed, but what they do with that information is largely up to that corporation.
Why do I care?
The fact still remains that if you as a business want to do business with other corporations that operate overseas, you are required to be GDPR compliant. This is similar to Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance as a publicly traded company. The point is that it matters depending on the customers that you service.
