Data Privacy Standards

The official texts of the Regulation and the Directive have been published and the new set of rules will give the European citizens control over their personal information. These rules also regulate the business environment and this reform prioritizes the Digital Single Market. It helps both European citizens and businesses benefit from the online economy.

Under the law, personal information can only be collected legally under strict conditions. The data collected must be protected from misuse and must respect the rights of the owner’s data. Every day Europe must deal with people transferring the vast amount of personal information across borders. Data protection rules conflicts between different countries and would disrupt international exchanges. Therefore, their rules ensured that your personal data has a high standard of protection within the Europe Union and you have the right to complain and gain redress if your information is misused anywhere within the European Union.
