The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive legal framework that sets guidelines for the collection and processing of personal information of individuals within the European Union. It aims to give control to individuals over their personal data and to simplify the regulatory environment for international business by unifying the regulation within the EU. The GDPR contains provisions that require businesses to protect the personal data and privacy of EU citizens for transactions that occur within EU member states. This regulation is enforceable on websites operating within the EU and applies to all companies processing and holding the personal data of data subjects residing in the EU, regardless of the company's location. In essence, the GDPR aims to give individuals more control over their personal data and to make data protection regulations more uniform across the EU.
