GDPRperiaatteita

GDPRperiaatteita refers to the core principles of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), a comprehensive data privacy law enacted by the European Union. These principles are fundamental to how personal data should be collected, processed, stored, and managed.

The key GDPR principles include lawfulness, fairness, and transparency, meaning data must be processed legally and in a way that individuals can understand. Data minimization dictates that only personal data that is adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary for the purposes for which it is processed should be collected. Accuracy requires that personal data be accurate and kept up to date. Storage limitation means data should not be kept for longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it is processed. Integrity and confidentiality ensure that data is processed securely, protecting it from unauthorized or unlawful processing and from accidental loss, destruction, or damage. Finally, accountability means the data controller is responsible for demonstrating compliance with these principles.

Adhering to these principles is crucial for organizations handling personal data of individuals within the EU, regardless of the organization's location. Non-compliance can lead to significant fines and reputational damage.
