GDPR has a direct impact on business procedures as it requires companies to operate in a more privacy-conscious manner. Companies must comply with GDPR to operate within the EU and must also be aware of the implications of processing data in other countries around the world.

The privacy-by-design approach is an approach to data protection that was introduced by the GDPR. It requires organizations to incorporate data protection into the design of products, services and processes, as well as into the management of data protection risks.

The 7 GDPR principles are legality, fairness and transparency, data accuracy and integrity, purpose limitation, storage limitation, data subjects’ rights, and accountability.

GDPR is relevant globally, regardless of the location of the organization or the user data. As emerging technologies and changing societies increase the need for data protection, the GDPR provides a framework to ensure that user data is collected, processed, and stored securely.
