General Data Protection Regulation
(GDPR) Compliance

In today's digital age, where data is the lifeblood of business operations, ensuring the privacy and protection of personal data has become a top priority. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), enforced by the European Union, has transformed the way companies handle personal data. At Revvknew Media, a leading B2B media services company, GDPR compliance is a cornerstone of our commitment to safeguarding the data of our clients and partners.
 
This comprehensive guide will provide you with insights into what GDPR is, why it matters, and how Revvknew Media complies with this stringent regulation.

Understanding GDPR

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a landmark legislation that was introduced to provide individuals with greater control over their personal data. It came into effect on May 25, 2018, and applies not only to European Union (EU) member states but also to any organization worldwide that processes the data of EU residents.

 

Key principles and objectives of GDPR include:

 

  • Consent: Individuals must provide explicit and informed consent for their data to be processed. They have the right to withdraw consent at any time.

 

  • Data Subject Rights: GDPR enhances the rights of data subjects (individuals), giving them more control over their personal data. This includes the right to access, correct, delete, and port their data.

 

  • Data Protection by Design and Default: Organizations are required to integrate data protection into their processes and systems from the outset, rather than as an afterthought.

 

  • Accountability and Governance: GDPR encourages organizations to implement robust data protection policies, procedures, and documentation. They must also appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO) if necessary.

 

  • Data Breach Notification: Organizations are obligated to report data breaches to the relevant authorities within 72 hours and notify affected individuals when a breach is likely to result in a high risk to their rights and freedoms.

 

  • International Data Transfers: GDPR restricts the transfer of personal data outside the EU to countries or organizations that do not provide an adequate level of data protection.

Why GDPR Matters

GDPR matters for several reasons:

​

  • Protecting Privacy: GDPR places a strong emphasis on individuals' rights to data privacy and protection, aligning with evolving societal values.

​

  • Reputation and Trust: Complying with GDPR builds trust and enhances your company's reputation, demonstrating a commitment to data security.

​

  • Legal Compliance: Non-compliance can result in severe fines, damaged reputation, and legal consequences.

​

  • Global Reach: GDPR's reach extends beyond the EU, impacting any organization that processes EU residents' data, making it a global standard.
