GDPR

What is GDPR?
The new European GDPR legislation aims to better protect the privacy of citizens. GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation.

The GDPR aims to better protect the privacy of citizens by establishing uniform rules for the entire EU:

  • citizens will have more control over how their personal data is used
  • there is a clear legal structure so that companies know how to act to ensure privacy.

Every organization, every company, every government that collects and processes personal data of European citizens must apply GDPR, regardless of the country where the company or organization is located.

GPDR on data collection (online and offline)

  • The user must give explicit consent (opt-in). No more pre-ticked boxes (opt-out) to receive a newsletter or commercial notifications.
  • The data collector must explicitly state which data is collected and for what purpose.
  • The collected data may only be used for this purpose, and for a period consistent with that purpose.

GDPR on data retention

  • When you store data, you must adequately protect the data and ensure its privacy.
  • A breach of data security must be reported within 72 hours.
  • The person whose data you store must have access to the data, who can view, correct, or have it removed. The company must be able to provide an electronic copy of its private file.
  • The person whose data you store must also be able to withdraw their consent at any time.

GDPR on the supervision of data

  • Companies with more than 250 employees must appoint a Data Protection Officer who supervises the correct implementation of the GDPR regulation.
  • In Belgium, the Privacy Commission was charged with monitoring GDPR compliance.
