General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
Ever wondered why websites ask for your consent before using cookies? GDPR controls how organisations use your personal information, giving you serious power over your data.
The regulation has six key principles that organisations must follow. Data minimisation means they can only collect what they actually need - no hoarding your info for fun. Purpose limitation ensures your data is only used for what you agreed to, and storage limitations mean they can't keep it forever.
When things go wrong and there's a data breach, companies must investigate quickly and take action. They're also required to be transparent about what they're doing with your information - no more sneaky data collection behind your back!
Quick Tip: You have the right to ask what data companies hold about you and request they delete it!
