Andmeohutusnõuded

Andmeohutusnõuded, also known as data processing requirements, refer to the legal and regulatory standards that govern the collection, storage, use, and sharing of personal data. These requirements are designed to protect individuals' privacy and ensure the security and integrity of data. They are typically established by national and international laws and regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in the United States.

The primary objectives of andmeohitusnõuded are to:

1. Ensure transparency: Organizations must be clear about how they collect, use, and share personal data.

2. Obtain consent: Individuals must give explicit consent for their data to be processed.

3. Limit data collection: Only data that is necessary for a specific purpose should be collected.

4. Enable data subject rights: Individuals have the right to access, correct, and delete their personal data.

5. Ensure data security: Organizations must implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data.

Failure to comply with andmeohitusnõuded can result in significant penalties, including fines and legal action. Organizations must therefore establish and maintain robust data governance programs to ensure compliance. This includes appointing a data protection officer, conducting regular data protection impact assessments, and providing data protection training for employees. Additionally, organizations should stay informed about changes in relevant laws and regulations to adapt their data processing practices accordingly.
