ViewIn 2016, the European Commission replaced its long-existing Data Protection Directive with a modernised version, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The GDPR is based on the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights that considers the protection of personal data an individual’s fundamental human right.
The objective of the GDPR is to ensure the protection of personal information through a human rights-centric approach and allow secure transfer of personal information within and across jurisdictions. At present, the GDPR is considered to be one of the best global practices in relation to data protection and privacy legal landscape.

Consumers have the right to access their personal data withheld by an organization, to be informed of appropriate safeguards relating to transfer of their personal data, and to obtain a copy of their personal data.
