GDPR Compliance: Ensuring Data Protection Across Digital Platforms

Introduction

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a regulatory framework that came into effect on May 25, 2018, requiring businesses to adhere to stringent data protection measures. GDPR applies to Mobile Apps, Websites, Web Apps, Admin Panels, IoT devices, and BOTS, impacting how digital platforms handle personal data.Organizations must ensure that their platforms are GDPR-compliant to avoid legal penalties and maintain user trust. GDPR mandates fundamental changes in data collection, storage, and processing practices, ensuring transparency, accountability, and user control over personal data.
