RODO / GDPR - legal changes, theoretical introduction, practical aspects
14 HoursGDPR, i.e. the General Data Protection Regulation, is a legal regulation of the European Union introduced in May 2018, aimed at protecting the privacy and personal data of EU citizens. Here are some key points about the GDPR: The GDPR regulates how EU citizens' personal data is collected, stored, processed and transferred, giving them control over their data. Applies to all organizations that process personal data of EU persons, regardless of the location of these organizations. It provides a wide range of individual rights, such as the right to information, access to data, correction of data, deletion of data ("right to be forgotten"), data portability and objection to data processing. It imposes on organizations the obligation to ensure data security, consent to data processing, maintain data processing registers, and apply appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect data. It regulates the transfer of personal data outside the EU to third countries, requiring appropriate data protection measures. In some cases, organizations are required to appoint a Data Protection Officer to oversee compliance with GDPR regulations. GDPR aims to provide greater protection for privacy and personal data, and organizations are obliged to comply with these regulations to ensure an adequate level of protection for the personal data of their users and customers.
