What It Is

GDPR governs how organizations collect, process, store, and protect the personal data of individuals in the European Union. It requires a lawful basis for every processing activity, gives individuals data subject rights including access, correction, erasure, and portability, and mandates breach notification to regulators within 72 hours of discovery.

Organizations must also implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures, honor data minimization and retention limits, and in many cases document processing activities formally. Penalties for non-compliance can reach up to 4 percent of global annual revenue or €20 million, whichever is greater.

Who It Applies To

Any organization, regardless of where it is physically located, that offers goods or services to people in the European Union or monitors their online behavior, including Northern Virginia businesses with EU customers, partners, employees, or website visitors.
