Summary: The following document discusses how the General Data Protection Regulation is a fundamental document that imposes regulations in the European Union regarding data collection, usage, and proliferation. It was established in 2018 and is arguably one of the world’s most strict legislatures about data. The document consists of 11 chapters. It addresses such topics as consent, email marketing, encryption, right to be forgotten, right to be informed, and fines and penalties. The document ensures severe financial penalties for companies that refuse to adhere to the legislature. Another interesting thing about the document is that it guarantees the right to be forgotten. In other words, any individual can ask any company (except for a government service) to erase this individual’s data.
