GDPR Compliance

In today’s digital era, data security and privacy are not just buzzwords; they are essential components of a trustworthy and law-abiding business. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has reshaped the way companies across the globe handle data privacy, introducing stringent rules and significant responsibilities for organizations. Failure to comply with the GDPR could result in a fine of up to €20 million or up to 4% of the annual international gross sales, underscoring the regulation’s commitment to enforcing these standards. GDPR’s impact is far-reaching, affecting not only businesses within the European Union but also those dealing with EU citizens’ data worldwide.

NOTE: It is not the web agency or hosting company that is responsible for ensuring that the website is in compliance with GDPR requirements – it is the business that owns the website that is accountable in the event of an inspection or security incidents. Do not be misled by hosting companies claiming they are GDPR compliant. It means they follow the rules, but it does not help your company’s website.
