Frequently Asked Questions

GDPR is an EU law focused on data protection and privacy for individuals within the EU. It imposes strict compliance obligations on businesses, setting a benchmark for other countries. CPRA is a US state law that builds on the CCPA. It empowers Californians with enhanced privacy rights and introduces strict provisions for applicable businesses.

Automated decision-making refers to the use of AI systems and algorithms to make or significantly influence decisions without human intervention. It may involve the processing of personal data. Automated decision-making relies on data-driven analysis to identify patterns and make autonomous decisions that can have significant legal, economic, or personal impacts.

Non-compliance with GDPR can result in fines of up to €20 million or 4% of annual global turnover, whichever is higher. Under CPRA, penalties can reach $7,500 per intentional violation and $2,500 per unintentional violation, with additional provisions for data breaches involving minors.
