Under GDPR, the requirements to justify and document your personal data processing are onerous and the penalties for non-compliance will be substantial.   Wherever personal data is collected, stored, used, and finally deleted or destroyed, privacy concerns arise. With the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) the Council of the European Union aims to strengthen and unify data protection for all individuals within the European Union (EU).
