GDPR Fundamentals
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive data protection law that aims to safeguard the personal data of individuals within the European Union (EU) by establishing principles such as consent, transparency, and accountability.
GDPR Principles
The GDPR principles of consent, transparency, and accountability ensure that individuals have control over how their personal data is captured, stored and used. In the following pages we'll deep-dive into this.
GDPR Consent Principle
To meet consent requirements, organizations must ensure that consent is freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous. Additionally, individuals must give consent through an active action and must also be given the ability to withdraw consent.
Is the following statement True or False:
For GDPR, organizations need to get permission from individuals before collecting their data.
Consent is a crucial aspect of GDPR compliance. Organizations need to get clear permission from individuals before collecting or using their data. Individuals have the right to say no and can withdraw their consent at any time. A good example of this is when you log onto a website and accept the cookie policy.

GDPR Accountability Principle
To meet GDPR accountability requirements, organizations must ensure that they take ownership over all aspects of data collection, data security, and data sharing.
Data Collection
Data Security
Data Sharing
Organizations must limit the collection of personal data to what's necessary for business purposes. These purposes must be clearly defined and document the lawful basis for processing the data. Finally, organizations must regularly review and update data collection practices to ensure that only relevant and necessary data is collected and retained.
Organizations must implement both technical and non-technical measures to ensure the security of personal data. This includes protection against unauthorized access, accidental loss, destruction, or damage throughout the data processing lifecycle.
In the context of GDPR, a sub-processor refers to any third-party entity that processes personal data on behalf of the data controller. These organizations must only be engaged if they provide sufficient guarantees that data protection measures are in place. This includes a written contract outlining their responsibilities to adhere to the GDPR.
Is the following statement True or False:
Once consent is given for data collection, it's ok to share that information with ANY third-party.
Organizations must only share data with sub-processors if sufficient guarantees can be provided that data protection measures are in place and meet the rigor of GDPR requirements. This needs to be written in a contract, and individuals must be notified of this data-processing relationship.
