The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), introduced by the European Union (EU) in May 2018, strengthens and standardizes data protection laws for individuals within the EU. Replacing the 1995 EU Data Protection Directive, the GDPR applies to any organization—regardless of location—that processes the personal data of EU citizens. This regulation establishes strict guidelines for managing personal data, granting individuals greater control over their information. Non-compliance can result in substantial penalties, including fines of up to 4% of a company's global annual revenue or €20 million, whichever is higher. As a result, adhering to GDPR is essential for organizations handling the personal data of EU citizens.

GDPR software ensures your business remains compliant with evolving regulations. It eliminates the need for expensive lawyers or consultants by providing an all-in-one solution to manage compliance effectively.

If your business operates in or processes the data of EU residents, you must be GDPR compliant. For example, if you're a skincare brand based in North America with no physical presence in Europe but frequently ships orders to European customers, you are still required to comply with GDPR because you're handling the personal data of EU citizens.
