In the last month, many of the brands have updated their Privacy Policy. This was as a result of the implementation of General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union countries since 25th May 2018.
GDPR expands the privacy rights granted to EU individuals and it places many new obligations on organizations that serve customers and individuals in the European Union, irrespective of their geographical location. Such organizations around the world will be required to put in place security policies to address different risks and effectively enforce these policies with technical controls or potentially face fines of up to 20 Million Euro or 4% of Global turnover whichever higher. GDPR aims to strengthen and protect the data of individuals within the EU and also deals with export of personal data outside the region.
Under the GDPR, EU citizens will have rights including the ability to access their personal data; rectify inaccuracies or omissions; request deletion or removal of data once it is no longer required; restrict the processing of their data, and object to the use of their data.
