1. GDPR:

   Right to data is fundamental for every individual. With organizations across the world collecting customer data to enable them to provide services, it becomes important that the companies manage data in a transparent manner with the customer’s consent. 
   
   GDPR stands for “General Data Protection Regulation”. It establishes a new framework for handling and protecting the personal data of EU-based residents. It provides the citizens of the EU greater control over their personal data and assurance that their information is being securely protected across Europe.
   
   Although GDPR is a data protection framework for the citizens residing in the EU, it also applies to all companies that handle personal data of individuals from the EU. Also, in the event of an infringement of these laws, the infringing party can face fines and penalties ranging from 10 million to 20 million or 2% to 4% of the annual revenue of the defaulting company/organization depending upon whichever is higher.
