The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the European Union's (EU) personal data protection law. The GDPR aims to protect the privacy of EU citizens by imposing a unified set of rules on all organizations that process personal data originating from the EU. Notably, the regulation applies not only to European entities but also to non-EU organizations processing EU personal data, regardless of location. The GDPR also raises the stakes for noncompliance. For example, administrative fines for violating the GDPR can reach up to €20 million or four percent of annual worldwide revenue, whichever is greater.
